Oops, I forgot to add the Halliburton angle to the last post.
Yes, the US leads the world in spending cash for land mine de-mining purposes.
Ken Rutherford said today that there are perhaps as many as 100 million land mines in the world. It costs $300 to $1000 to take out a single mine.
Do the math.
That's $30 to $100 billion that needs to be spent de-mining the world.
Increasingly, private corporate entities are moving into the de-mining business.
Suddenly, the US motives look less humanitarian.
I'm interested in international relations, American foreign policy, climate change, US presidential elections, public debate, Kansas Jayhawks basketball, film, and major league baseball.
