Profit or loss?

Sir, - In the pursuit of its capitalist designs, the United States invented electricity and spread it everywhere. At least five lakh people would have been electrocuted, especially in poor countries. They also introduced the automobile, which is killing thousands in road accidents. Another invention, the computer, has robbed lakhs and lakhs of poor people of their jobs. So many people are sacrificed to keep the U.S. rich.

The U.S. experienced the first surprise attack on its bases at Pearl Harbour by the Japanese. In retaliation, it dropped atom bombs on Japan.

When Japan was defeated, the U.S. occupied that country and helped it rebuild its economy. Now, Japan has become an economic giant. Perhaps, Afghanistan too may gain in this game.
