the gov wont mine this, we will just let all of our allies come in and gang rape the resources with us....

Honestly, ya Afghan will get screwed a bit, but this will help their economy 7 fold. We will compensate them for it... We will just get a really good deal.

Im concerned for them. I hope they don't get screwed out of their wealth like practically every other third world country with valuable minerals/resources.


Blame the greedy/corrupt governments of third world countries selling rights to their country's land/resources to corporations or other countries. If third world countries stood their ground and said fuck off to America/Russia/China (or whoever else wants their resources) then they could keep the resources and use them to benefit their own country.

People seem to think that American companies just somehow screw third world countries out of their resources, but really its the governments of these countries that are greedy and sell the land to companies (and don't share any of hte money with its citizens)

Holy shit! Now they are saying the minerals are worth 3 times their original predictions which brings it to the tune of $3 Trillion.

It would be great if this would lead to safe and legitimate economic opportunities for Afghanistan, which is probably the whole reason why American geologists are surveying minerals in the region.

And I know it's hard to remember after a decade of Gitmo, Abu Ghraib, renditions, no WMDs, etc., but the US actually had pretty damn good reasons to invade Afghanistan. Unlike Iraq, that war had UN and NATO backing. We can only imagine what the situation in Afghanistan might be today if the Iraq misadventure hadn't happened.
