Chances are that sending a couple of dozen day-labor brokers from any city in the US to Afghanistan and the SWAT area of Pakistan, with suicases of money and guards would bring the "insurgency" to a halt in about a month!

So, why won't it happen? You have to hire General Dynamics, Lockheed and Boeing as the labor contractors and then it would happen.

Follow the money, follow the money, follow the money!
