Editor,
Past: Colonial Britain tried to make China a bunch of opium addicts by pushing the drug on them, so as to make it easier to take them over militarily.
Present: After being kicked out of India once, America’s flagship cola company is back in full force giving millions of Indians silly smiles on their faces from being addicted to caffeine as a result, and opening India’s economy even wider to the thrust of America’s economic colonization.
Future?: Selective drop in opium prices for American and British campuses by Afghanistan humiliated by the final presence of British boots on their ground after centuries of being warded off. This way they could add to this - their main source of income - and soften the minds of American intellectuals who see war upon them as the only way to wipe out terrorism.
Sincerely,
