...hard time believing that the ISAF can't control rising prices for food and fuel. They've seen or heard of laser-guided missiles falling from American warplanes with mythical precision, taking out Taliban caches while schoolrooms or hospitals immediately adjacent stood unscathed. And so, as popular Afghan logic goes, the only conceivable reason the ISAF hasn't swept the Taliban from the country is that it doesn't want to. Some of the most conspiratorial argue that the U.S. wants instability in Afghanistan so it can continue to have an excuse to base troops in the country...

He explains that America inherited the big Victorian British-Irish breakfast of bread, eggs and pork (probably because it could be cured and stored). Cereals were added at the turn of the century thanks to the Kellogg brothers. Doughnuts sneaked in after they were paired with coffee as an afternoon treat for World War I soldiers. In the South, buttery biscuits have long been served...
