Dollar To War, To Dollar

Our politicians to be told what for Why they continue to take us to war Is it for the oil and ores To continue earth sores Or for conglomerate greed galore

Well done James, I recently learned that the world powers have known since the Russians were in Afganistan, the country has the largest unmined sources of Ruby's, Emeralds and more importantly Lithium, throw in a fair amount of poppys (cocaine). All that wouldn't be of any value would it? NAH! All the best. JT
