Transcript:
Sushi from Japan, Cars from Germany, Noodles from Vietnam. War begets hatred. Hatred causes obsession. Obsession drives consumer preferences. What future buying trends will the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq inspire? Mystery meat on a stick- fancy style! Kandahar-style cave architecture comes to Bel Air. Personal drone planes. (Man: My more charming drone is out on a date for me!) Chubby chicks get into hip burqas (Slimming and fattening!)

Interesting point, michaelwme. I don’t think Vietnamese food started to become popular until about fifteen years after the war, but your point is well made.Presumably the Afghani product to which you refer is heroin?

@Radish the OutlanderWho won the second world war? The same folks who win every war: the rich. It’s only the rest of us who think that national boundaries mean something. How silly of us.

Ted, hatred isn’t the only thing that drives obsession. But I agree with the rest. Well done

He’s got it completely backwards. Obsession begets hatred, and hatred begets war.
.
How can he expect us to take him seriously when he gets a simple concept like that completely wrong?

There is no correlation. Japan, Germany and Vietnam made great sushi, cars and noodles before the wars
