Afghanistan has One Trillion Dollars Worth of Mineral DepositsThis is a major twist in our Operation Enduring Freedom saga which should definitely cause some major changes in the way many people will want to do business.

It is estimated that several of the many minerals found in Afghanistan may be more than any other country in the world. Afghanistan now has the potential of becoming one of the most wealthy countries in the world, although even under the best of circumstances it will take quite some time to realize this potential.
I definitely want to watch now and see how nations who before now would not assist in Afghanistan will do to get in on the pie.
