roachboy and lebell... just to add something to the Afghan invasion and the pipeline issue... I can't find a reference to it just now but I seem to recall that just prior to 9/11 the USA was starting to warm to the Taliban. I believe the administration was offering 100s of millions in either aid or loans... I remember at the time being pissed because I couldn't believe the US was willing to play ball with such a heinous regime.
Perhaps this money was one attempt at softening the area for the pipeline... After all the American people wouldn't support a war with the regime. Of course after 9/11 a war was an easier sell...
