The Iraqi war and Afghani war is a supply- side problem.

Only the Military knows the logistics of the problem. Only the Military knows the nature of the IED's. The FBI and the CIA both have the capacity to run "spot checks" on the IED's to determine what type of explosive is involved and where the explosive might have come from.

I believe the military has been running "spot checks" on explosives for a very long time now, since the USS COLE incident in Yemen, and is making the wisest decisions possible to stop the implementation of such devices.

These spot checks not only make the "war" an investigation into the crimes being committed, but also might provide Coalition Forces with the knowledge to expose the economics of the situation.

The economics in Afghanistan point to Opium.... based on what I've read... but then again I'm not Military Personel... I am only a half conscious citizen.

I do know that the use of land mines was largely banned by the UK and Princess Dianne and this might be of interest to the United Kingdom.... but it has largely been ignored by foreign criminal organizations... especially those who believe they have monopolized on the history of their world.

I don't know... I was only ranked Seaman in the United States Navy from 1998-2001.
