     While documentaries like No End In Sight decry the $1.86 trillion cost of the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars, with hundreds of thousands dead and maimed and two nations’ with already limited infrastructure decimated, their national treasures and cultural heritage plundered, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce  in concert with the U.S. Department of Commerce has announced that beautiful wool rugs will be shipped from Afghanistan to Macy’s in the U.S.A.

     Spokespersons for AIRTF, the Afghanistan Investment Reconstruction Task Force, which was fashioned after a similar task force in Iraq, have announced that Afghanistan will be openning to a new era of increased merchantilism and industrial advancement.

     When asked “But haven’t the Afghanistani’s been making these rugs for hundreds, perhaps thousands of years without help from Macy’s and selling them at a premium on the world market?”  One spokesperson who wished not to be identified said “yea, but we plan to compartmentalize the process so the wool provider’s wife who braids the wool and the weavers are isolated in the production process so that we can speed up shipments and lower wages.  Kind of like what happened to the Navaho rugs in the Great American Southwest.”

     A fight broke out between the AIRTF spokesperson, a serious devotee of Ayn Rand, when a reporter suggested that Ms. Rand's highest principle was "achievement without plunder."
