Assalaamu alaikum ya muslimeen.
Following are some interesting points to ponder on where the world is going these days.

-------------------
Did you know that:
a.. USA supported Bin Laden and the Taliban for years, and viewed
them
as freedom fighters against the Russians?
b.. As late as 1998, the US was paying the salary of every single
Taliban official in Afghanistan?
c.. There is more oil and gas in the Caspian Sea, but you need a
pipeline through Afghanistan to get that out?
d.. UNOCAL, a giant oil conglomerate, wanted to build a 1000 mile
pipeline from the Caspian Sea through Afghanistan to the
Arabian Sea?
e.. UNOCAL spend $ 10,000,000,000 on geological studies for the
pipeline construction, and courted the Taliban for their
support in allowing the construction to begin?
f.. All leading Taliban officials were in Texas negotiating with
UNOCAL
in 1998?
g. In 1999, Taliban changed its mind and threw UNOCAL out of the
country and awarded the pipeline project to a company
in Argentina?
h.. John Maresca, VP of UNOCAL testified before Congress and said no
pipeline should be set until the Taliban was gone
and a more friendly government was established?
i.. After 1999, the Taliban became the most evil people in the world
j. In 2001, Bush declares war against Afghanistan, though not a
single
Afghani was involved in the plan hijacking?
k.. Bush blamed Bin Laden, but did not offer any proof, saying it was
confidential?
l.. Talibans offered to hand over Bin Laden if there was proof, but
Bush
bombed Afghanistan instead?
m.. We now have a new government in Afghanistan, which is friendlier?
n.. That the leader of the new government is one gentleman called
Hamid
Karzai, who formerly worked for UNOCAL?
o.. Bush appoints a special envoy (Lakhdar Ibrahimi) to represent the
US
to deal with the new government. This special
envoy was formerly chief consultant to UNOCAL?
p.. The US government quietly announces in January 2002 that it will
support the Trans-Afghan pipeline construction?
q.. President Musharraf and Hamid Karzai announce agreement in
February
2002 to build proposed gas pipeline from
Central Asia to Pakistan through Afghanistan?
......And you thought we were fighting terrorism here, didn't you?
It is all about OIL................
