Old News
The news about Afghan mineral wealth is a clumsy attempt by the
U.S.Pentagon to justify additional military activity in Afghanistan. It's
been known for years that there are a lot of mineral deposits in
Afghanistan, but the country has never been politically stable enough, for
thousands of years, to allow the investment to be made there that is needed
to develop those deposits. That will not change anytime soon.
