One of the big problems with the mineral wealth that they have recently discovered, is that much of it is in the border region against the Pakistani border where the Taliban is strongest. Any mining installations in that region would have to be heavily defended in order to be able to operate.

by whom?Blackwater?to guard the western mining companies?Like the niger delta?
i'll guarantee everybody one thing,you try to rip off anybody in that region you gonna get huge problems
against the pak.border?that's pushtun country on both sides,happens to be Karzai's tribe.
