Read your posts with a great deal of respect and interest. I do not think that China's consumption of metals is on such a massive scale can be merely confined to remaking a single city, but I feel you're more in the loop to what's happening over there then me.

I don't think Iraq was with China in mind. I do think that Afghanistan was. It fits into my interpretations of MIHOP, the hows and whys.

I for one am sure that pipelines from central Asia's vast oil and gas reserves over the Himalayans, and across the Gobi Desert dance in the dreams of China's strategic planners. Those very same fields, and denial of them to China dance like sirens in the dreams of the PNAC'ers as well. And these dreams are the coin that brought us the human disaster that is * and his minions.
