Re-Visiting Tid-bits of current US/AFGHANISTAN relations - Big Business
"Inspired by major success stories, Ford, 3M, and Boeing are examining business opportunities in Afghanistan..."
From the Embassy of Afghanistan, in Washington, DC
More than 70 American companies have registered in Afghanistan since 2003, representing $75 million in potential investment, and more than 15 foreign and domestic banks have opened their doors in Afghanistan.
Afghanistan’s national income per capita has doubled since 2001, reaching approximately $356. Over 100,000 Afghans have been able to start small businesses thanks to micro-credit loans; 76% of these loans were given to women. Afghanistan was selected as the 2005 US Trade and Development Agency “Country of the Year,” while the World Bank ranked the ease of starting a new business in Afghanistan 16th in the world and lists Afghanistan as the 2006 top performer on business entry.
Since 2001, more than 55,000 businesses have been registered, allowing Afghans to dream of a better future for their children for the first time in 30 years. Inspired by major success stories, Ford, 3M, and Boeing are examining business opportunities in Afghanistan, and Coca-Cola has opened a $25 million bottling plant in Kabul, which employs approximately 500 Afghans.

Dear friends,
There's a little more, on the link below. The Afghans do not need "oil", in order to make this "war" profitable. Does El Presidente have power over the US multinational business marauders, much less the military/industrial complex?
Meanwhile, thousands of US soldiers have died and thousands more have been injured, with the understanding that they were defending some great ideal or something, while the US government, sponsored by big business, along with its corporate-controlled mainstream media now says that it (said government) wants the Taliban to be included in talks regarding the future of Afghanistan, Huh? Please remember that after 54, 000 US soldiers died in Vietnam, the US has trade dealings with the Vietnamese today.
