Another factor.... the Media doesn't need to hide the Afgan war, most Americans support it.

Logic tells me this... poor, broken, nations and broke people don't make the elites money. They can't tax or fraud you for money, interest, investing, property, if you don't have any. If nobody has any money, the "buying power" isn't buying the trash the other Countries produce - thus nobody is making shit.

This is why they haven't let any Country fail... it would mean they fail.
