It will not stop the stupid wars etc.

Will Britain and USA pull out of Afganistan? I think not.

No. It won't stop the stupid wars. One stroke of a file will not break a chain. One straw will not break the camel's back..one snowflake will not bring down a tree branch..unless it is the last one.

I would think engineers in Afganistan are very very interested in this..they are sitting on mountains full of emeralds and semi-precious stones such as lapis lazuli?? They are mining them with dangerous explosives and great waste of human energy and lives and waste of the product itself...extracting those gems safely could help in many ways..finance security for the country, build schools, hospitals, roads, rebuild what has been damaged...reduce dependence on the poppy etc. Google this..they are asking for assistance with their mining operations in exchange for very generous sharing of the proceeds..only small problem is security.

We can not begin to calculate the ripple effect of all this. I believe the world has taken a little shift on its axis. mg
