#2  Note that the Kuwaiti outlet flatly call them "US spies" with no qualifiers, but says that the assassination was carried out by "suspected" Taliban militants. You're welcome, Kuwaitis, for saving you from Saddam's tender mercies.

#1  Go for it. Kill off all the businessmen and be damned with even more dependency on Persian Gulf handouts.

P.S. All the opium smugglers are really US spies. You know what to do.
