Defense contractors. I figured it out when I went to Scottsdale once. Right on the border of PHX and Scottsdale is a huge Rayteon or General Dynamics factory. There was three or four huge buildings.

A muslim in the white hut is not going to try to “win” in Afghanistan. How many empires fell apart because an Afghanistan war bankrupted the nation - Britian, USSR, Greece/Alexander, Genghis Khan?
