STRAW GOVERNMENTS FALL,
WITH A LITTLE WIND SCAMPER,
THEY STEAL THE GOLD TOO.

For the second time in living memory, a USA built and supported Government falls to poorly armed but better-focused opposition. First was Vietnam in 1972, yesterday it was Afghanistan - USA had only pulled out their troops recently. That is at least the 3rd major world ‘power’ the Afghans have effectively disposed off - Britain, Russia and now the USA.
