Fighting wars far away in Afghanistan costing New Labour too much? Then cut out the middle man and bring Afghanistan to Stanford! It's cheaper and the actors playing the natives tend not to shoot back so much.

Rules for submitting comments:
1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.
2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.
3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.
4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.
Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.
Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
US has been doing this for some time. If it helps training to have actors playing the locals, except they shoot at one by making that gun gesture with their fingers and saying "bang!"---an important difference---I don't see a problem. On the other hand, I've heard that Hussein Husseinovich is planning to resettle the Guantanamo Bay thugs in Michigan's UP, probably with a path to early release and citizenship (hey, they'll vote D!), if their friends don't break them out of jail first. With that, I see a problem. Several, in fact. No, many, actually...
