Brilliant, eh? They "protected" it so well that a legitimate buyer
can't play. I wonder if it occurs to the morons who paid for
"Starforce" that they could have achieved precisely the same result for
free, simply by sticking the CD in a microwave for a few minutes.

"Little more than three years after US forces, backed by their faithful
British allies, set foot in Afghanistan, the entire historical dynamic
of this blighted region has already shifted.
Ignoring, fortunately, the assault from clever world opinion on
America=3Fs motives, its credibility and its ambitions, the Bush
Administration set out not only to eliminate immediate threats
but also to remake the Middle East."
