I just got a very vehement email from my SOAN advisor, who is leading the Moscow study group. She forwarded us an editorial from the NY Times about how Bush's Texas buddies are getting the best deal from the "stimulus package" going through Congress. At the top of it she wrote this diatribe about how idiotic the war in Afghanistan is. At the end she insinuated that the point of this war is to get access to the oil reserves in the Caspian Sea basin. I personally think she's being a little too cynical, but it fits the kind of things she said last year when I had her in class. She really likes to mention the fact that Bush's grandfather Prescott suported the Nazis.
