The Russians already knew about the minerals in Afghanistan, since the majority of geologists in Afghanistan were educated in Russia and had a tie with the Russian backed regyme, but the Afghan resistance and 9 years of war made it very diificult for the Russians to investigate further. The timing of the news release about the natural minerals is very questionable, since the US, already knew about the existence of the minerals in Afghanistan while they supported the mujahideens in the Russian War. According to some experts,it'll take at least 10 years and another trillion of dollars to make those mines profitable, and this will give the US, and Coalition Forces a great reason to justify their stay in Afghanistan and profit from those mines, but in order to do that Afghanistan need a great leader to unite the tribes, so they can agree on everything including the mining industry by the foreign forces. First we don't have such a leader at the moment to unite everyone, and to have a stable country in Afghanistan, and second there will be many wars over the mines among the local tribes for the ownership of the mines. This is another manipulated fabrication by the US, and the media to justify their staying in Afghanistan, just like the Bush Administartion justified the invasion of Iraq, by promissing that the profit from the Iraqi Oil will pay for the war! What happened to the oil money from Iraq? What will happen to the money from the Natural Minerals in Afghanistan, and if they will be able to build a mining industry in Afghanistan ? Will it pay for the War? What will the poor Afghan people will get out of all these mines?

But, it is interesting why it is becoming the big news now? Maybe to give another reason to stay in Afghanistan. But, I take it is a good omen. And the fact that Karzai gave Japan the green light is very positive. And if Japan does go for the exploration and mining then this creates job for many, which already would gradually change things for the better. Lets think positive to manifest positivity.

When it comes to unexploited mineral wealth the USA is the worst offender.

Now what kind of dirty dog would want dig up a park looking for diamonds? One dirty dog was Henry Ford (perhaps the most defamed man in US history)who wanted industrial diamonds from that "park" during WWll for machining metal in the war effort. Since he couldn't dig up the precious park he (the US taxpayer)had to pay through the nose to get diamonds from the European diamond cartels while US soldiers were dying on the European battle fields. If you want to find the real worth of any politician ask him to read Smedley Butler's "War is a Racket" and comment on it. If the political candidate doesn't say "I wasn't aware Smedley Butler, his story should be in in every American history textbook" then you you will know the value of that candidate, case closed. Worthless; Actually worse than worthless; such a candidate would be of negative value and should be in charge of NOTHING. Old bill clinton was said to be "so smart". Why didn't he exploit the Arkansas diamond mine in his own back yard? Mike There are valuable minerals of some sort everywhere in the world.

I think saddest part of the American story though is that despite everything there is a spirit of trust which now has been made into our worst "fault". So we have gotten to the point where there is no trust because everything is perceived as a scam or ultimately valued in dollars and sense; success not morals and principles. Many people I know are in great admiration of "the Jews" because of their success in getting what they want through deceit. Deceit has become a virtue in America. Everyone wants to try their hand at it and see if the can be like the "smart" Jews. The Jerry Springer show is a microcosm of what has been done by the biggest manipulators and trouble makers in the world. Like a child molester they capitalize on every human frailty to encourage the worst in everyone. It's amazing how for a few thousand dollars you can get an expert to say anything by financing the writing of a "book". People in America still believe despite everything if you wrote a "book" you must know something and surely you are saying what you really believe. Mike Scott, you’ve sure stated the dilemma clearly.
