This will be the best news of the month, at least. Can you imagine a prosperous Afghanistan in a couple decades? Elections, more freedom for women,coming into the 20th century,etc. A modern Islamic society may not be an oxymoron if that happens but to me this is nothing short of fantastic.
No kidding. They finally may have some hard currency coming into their country. But might this cause a real struggle for power?
I've wondered whether the MSM's fixation with Iraq is allowing Afghanistan to "fly under the radar," so to speak, and whether a decade or two down the road Afghanistan will be more "stable" for it (even if less wealthy).
