Afghanistan to Close Private “Security” Firms

Everyone describes Afghanistan as primitive, savage, war-torn. But the country is taking one significant step forward: The Afghan government will be closing most of the private security firms in the country, including Blackwater.

Calling these trigger-happy dunces-on-steroids a “security firm” is like calling a Mafia hit man a liaison officer.

Considering that Afghanistan has long been considered one of the world’s wildest, most lawless countries, this is a great leap forward. Who knows, maybe someday a certain other, even more primitive country will take a similar step.

It doesn’t seem likely though. The above-mentioned unnamed backward country has an incredibly huge and ever-growing gap between its richest and poorest citizens. And that’s always the hallmark of a hopelessly decaying crumbling third world country.

Think this unnamed country will ever evolve?
