Why is America fighting a war in Afghanistan?

Afghanistan is a mineral rich country that has very strategic areas vital to a world domination. That being said if a country were to decide to financially control most every country, this spot reigns supreme.With the second largest oil reserve and borders that allow the easy access to refineries and ocean liners it would be well suited for an empire to send a few troops over to help unocal and bp get some easy profits by the means of poor and middle class kids manipulated into thinking Afghanistan was responsible for 19 Saudi Arabian citizens crashing a couple jet liners into buildings.

Not only oil Afghanistan has the worlds largest to date deposits of lithium and that Iphone of yours wont run without it. So there.

Oh and besides those nifty little items, you have Heroin yes Heroin. The CIA's cash cow for infiltrating countries and starting coups. You know that crap aint cheap. Besides with our troops protecting the poppy fields like they are, it makes it ours. It's our heroin to distribute and make sure more Americans get busted and increase prison population. For prisons are big business. They are so big that it has become a private industry. Don't worry you don't have to do heroin to go to jail. Your government is working hard to ensure everyone gets into the system one way or another. It's good for the governments economy. Fines and fees and taxes oh my..Yes even grandma gets in, she shouldnt have been talking on that cell phone while driving. Oh look theres one without a seat belt. More money for you know who.

Alas there is always a silver lining. See America has been reaping havoc across the whole entire world like its some kinda imperial nation or an empire. We all know what happens to empires, they fall. Oh crap dont look now your government is bankrupt and even if they took 100 % of your check for taxes they still cant pay the debt, looks like this story is going to have a happy ending after all. Well almost all except, America.

Good luck to the players.

oh you might wanna screw the big guy, buy silver bankrupt Chase.

Thank you, that is all.

We'll one might suspect something to do with that (liquid gold jazz) = oil? That oil pipeline would probably be right dead on target. However,I believe it's something quite a bit deeper than just oil. Probably something strategic in nature that we "The Sheeple" have no business knowing anything about at this present point in time.

I would suspect our presence over there has something to do with the tiny state of Israel, and the coming Third World War? Remember were also over there in Iraq , South Korea and many other foreign lands. We have bases all over the world because, what better place to strike at an enemy than his own backyard...

Do you remember a few months into the war they discovered tons of untapped precious metals and natural resources. That is why we are there still. Afghanistan is not known to be oil rich. So it does not have to do with oil. At least not in Afghanistan. We want those natural resources than we will be done there.

I hate americas governent but i like americans people! becus of america and its allies our poor afghanistan is destroyed!

We are the modern day Imperial Britain, whose *** was kicked by a bunch of farmers 200 years ago.

Ironic, huh?

War is used by the higher echelons of the socio-economic system to further destroy the middle class by spending insane amounts of money on prolonged, impossible 'wars'. Then ya got monetary policy...

CNN will say that it is because the Taliban harboured the terrorist known as Osama Bin Laden and his cronies.

The conspiracy theorists will say that the US needs to control Afghanistan in order to build a pipeline without the need for Iran's cooperation.

The truth lies somewhere in between, or on both sides of these explanations.

To protect the opium trade. And provide huge profits to the corportations who in turn provide large bribes to our corrupt politicians. It's all about money.

COS NOT A SINGLE COUNTRY WANTS TO BE RULE BY ANY OTHER COUNTRY.

To open the chamber of secrets.
