meeting the taliban
Nov 07, 2001, 13:26
when the taliban came to power in afghanistan, i suspect that they (as a new government) were schmoozed and courted by dozens (hundreds?) of multinational corporations... that's what multinationals do.

there was clearly some interest in building trans-afghan pipelines at the time, but subsequent investigation by pretty much everyone concerned (with the possible exception of the pakistan government who lost hefty potential transit-fees) indicated that the project was not viable and went and started building elsewhere.

that's what's happening now. huge wodges of cash are being invested in export pipelines going in the opposite direction. that evidence alone (and it's not the only evidence) is a damn good indicator i'd say.
