http://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/14/world/asia/14minerals.html?hp An internal Pentagon memo, for example, states that Afghanistan could become the "Saudi Arabia of lithium," a key raw material in the manufacture of batteries for laptops and Blackberries. The vast scale of Afghanistan's mineral wealth was discovered by a small team of Pentagon officials and American geologists. The Afghan government and President Hamid Karzai were recently briefed, American officials said. While it could take many years to develop a mining industry, the potential is so great that officials and executives in the industry believe it could attract heavy investment even before mines are profitable, providing the possibility of jobs that could distract from generations of war. - The New York Times |

chidichris: ideally. but it may bring more war if the Taliban fight harder to grab some of this bonanza. It'll probably make China far more interested in Afghanistan, which may be good or bad. |
