there as well as for the building of the pipeline. It certainly was never about terror. Like you right after 9/11 I had a feeling it would be used as an excuse to go to war. Didn't know much about politics at the time, but it seemed with Bush and Cheney in power war would be their first choice.

I read somewhere that the Russians had suspected that Afghanistan had valuable mineral deposits so it was probably not the surprise they are claiming.
