Profit. Always profit.
We failed on the one place we could and should have scored as profit there. Polio eradication. World would be free or that scourge if not for polio vax fundamentalists. Mainly afghans, some Pakistanis and periodically some in .Nigeria. Rest of the world, even India, got the job done. Once it became clear what the problem would be there should have been a religious solution. Tell our Saudi ‘friends’ to open a polio vax factory in Mecca, using its ‘holy well water’. Have their top cleric issue a Fatwa declaring Jihad against an infidel virus which now only is affecting their faithful. Draft young male Saudis to man the campaign there.
