According to the NY times they have discovered mineral deposits in Afghanistan that could be worth $1 trillion. These resources include the next demand of our modern unsustainable society, lithium. As we all know, no 'civilized' person can function without a blackberry or iphone. This is actually quite good news that could potentially do great things for an economy whose main source of income is opium. It can also potentially bring our brothers and sisters home. But, look forward to a US attempt to exploit these minerals in a manner that might just send troops back after mining begins.
