The BBC article basically outlines my concerns. Afghanistan is so remote and underdeveloped in every way. And their central government is so weak at best. The country never took to any form of centralized government in the form we view such.
A lot of wheeling and dealing is going to have to take place with no assurances from any source the country can achieve the stated goal.
I am still waiting to hear about all that oil Vietnam had to offer the world coming to the suface.
I just hate to think of the Chinese moveing in on Afghansitan and Iraq and taking all the spoils, and the US not getting a dime for our great loss in national treasure.
