    Afghanistan has quite sizable mineral deposits. Whether the people of that country will be allowed to extract and profit off those rich deposits, or continue to be expected to lead a Middle Ages existence (School girls are still being poisoned by the Taliban) is anybodies guess

    Perhaps we can get BP to do the extraction. That way we get the minerals and the school girls get poisoned directly, without having to depend on the Taliban.

    Oh Goody, an additional way we can be dependent upon the Middle East for energy and another way for the terrorist to acquire the funds needed for their Jihad.
