Nothing to do with oil
Nov 07, 2001, 10:10
i'm the first one to look for hidden agendas and dubious motives when it comes to things like this. however, extensive research into energy issues and oil depletion (going back two or three years) has convinced me that afghanistan has little or not strategic value from an oil point of view.

many have said "oil" when asked why the US is bombing afghanistan (George Monbiot and John Pilger are just two of the luminaries who fall into that camp). but that conclusion appears (to me) to be the result of a level of laziness when it comes to research.

i've written a (very) long article examining the actual facts - as opposed to the supposition - regarding Caspian Sea oil export routes. if you are truly interested in the facts behind this theory, then i urge you to at least check it out:

ps: the article unreservedly calls for the immediate cessation of military activity in afghanistan. one doesn't require dodgy oil politics to justify the ending of mass murder.
