TANTIE TALK:
"We have not inherited the earth from our forefathers, we have borrowed it from our children" - Kashmiri proverb

It does be real interesting doing a search on de Internet yuh know... jes de other day Tants was in a lime when de talk come up about all de bacchanal with CEMEX & TCL and ENRON and WorldCom...everybody of course want to say all de economic troubles start off with September 11th 2001. So yuh Tants decide to do some digging 'pon de net and mainly out of idle curiosity I did decide to search on "oil +afghanistan"...well chile, I was more than lil bit suprised when Google hit me wid "Results 1 - 10 of about 325,000. Search took 0.13 seconds." I figure it woulda have a few hundred, maybe even a couplke thousand but 325,000! Anyways I start looking through de results and as expected it have plenty from after September 11th 2001, dat relate to the day and subsequent events...but is de one below dat give me a suprise - it dated more than THREE years before Spetember 11th 2001.

I giving allyuh a lil taste, read de whole thing yuhself at de address below de quote. But this whole thing really come about because of de quote up at de top and de fire on Friday night. I was thinking bout how we really ent paying back we chirren at all...not principal, not interest. We using and abusing we lil resources dat giving 'wealth' and not studying dat it ent now dey get put dong in de ground, and is not tomorrow it going to get replaced. However, de resources dat we have dat 'renewable' and not finite, we ent taking serious at all - is what we really doing about our people, de human beings dat make T&T AND de world at large work? We not taking heed of lessons dat passing we by...if de ENRON bacchanal
had been Amoco or bp, is where we woulda be?

Follow the Oil Trail - Mess in Afghanistan Partly Our Government's Fault By William O. Beeman, Pacific News Service, August 24, 1998

The twists and turns of U.S. involvement in Central Asia are worthy of spy fiction, but it is clear that our continued support for forces opposed to Iran has led to some uncomfortable alliances. And these must be recognized, according to PNS commentator William O. Beeman, in any analysis of the bombings of U.S. embassies and the reprisal raids that followed. Beeman, anthropologist specializing in the Middle East at Brown University, is currently conducting research in Islamic Central Asia.

We must face the fact that if President Clinton is right about who bombed our embassies in Tanzania and Kenya, the action came in part as the result of the muddled actions of our own government.

The story is worthy of a Tom Clancy novel.
