Reply #119: What's a "ten year Haidas"?

Some sort of subgroup of a Pacific Northwest Indian tribe that only makes an appearance once every 10 years?

On a less sarcastic note, what is the purpose of your post, exactly? Were you not aware that the "international energy company" in question was Unocal, which eventually gave up on the plan for the Afghanistan pipeline, only to see the contract awarded to an Argentine company before 9-11? Then voila, before you can say "Hamid's your president", the Taliban is out and a former Unocal employee is installed as president of Afghanistan just 3 years after Unocal gave up on its plan, and just a few months after the installation of an intensely oil-industry-friendly administration.
