Pirates and Emperors

I came across this video from Pirates and Emperors and had to post it (YouTube Link via Digg; see also Original Site)

Having been a child in the 80′s when the big bad Communists were THE bad guy, I also remember our “friends” the Mujahideen in Afghanistan. From comedy movies like Spies Like Us to action movies like Rambo III, the Mujahideen were always there to help out against those pesky Russians. Sure we may hate Osama Bin Laden and the Taliban now, but back then they were our best buddies.

Maybe we should stop funding wars altogether. But then what could we spend the money on? Health care and education? I can dream can’t I? :)
