Peacekeeping mission or exploration? It makes one ask. The men of good sense knows that the most plausible answer is B. The men of common sense know this: invest billions in military spending each year-especially if there is much talk of crisis and cuts in public spending-is an operation that is done in the hope multiplied by the capital invested. It is especially this war: an investment. You do not go to places already dried up, dusty, where people are oppressed by dictatorships. Although we fall a bit 'everywhere, not a place or the other. So you can forget those arid lands, those without hope in hostile dictatorships maze of black Africa. Better to make a "democratic war" where there are still unexplored lands. Those places where such a day other-but-different from others can make you pass under the nose billion. This was the case for Iraqi oil, now it will be for the minerals of Afghanistan. War always has a dual purpose. Indeed, one purpose: to exploit the political weakness of a territory to steal the resources of the territory.
Perhaps many were fooled by the farce of democracy for export. Perhaps many of us believe that what is said on TV is true. Perhaps those same gullible will cry in front of the coffins of the heroes. Tears in vain? Absolutely not. In Afghanistan, the Pentagon's geologists (but is not it?) Have discovered rich mineral deposits worth billions of tons. Tons, converted to dollars at a reasonable rate of exchange will be able to see fruit and many more billions. Gold, cobalt, copper and lithium, this essential mineral for the production of PCs and mobile phones. It might seem a surprise, but the machinery of colonization knows where to point their guns and this finding is not surprising. It took nine years to see if the game would be worth the candle. It took military deaths but also Afghan civilians killed unjustly. It took demagogic campaigns, manipulation, and some neologisms' rhetoric to camouflage the eyes of man distracted the real intent of this war. Or someone really believes that wars will do it for humanitarian purposes? Balle! Since wars are born of man are to appropriate the wealth of others. Do you have a better solution? Expose all the reasons why American geologists were in the territory of Afghanistan.
Rich Men of the West are already glazing hands. Now the new story to tell will be that of a full Afghanistan thanks to the wonders that the area reserved for him. Meanwhile, prepare a new expedition to the caravels. They prepare substantial means. The crisis is further away. The wind blows to Afghanistan and our scouts are ready to sail. Eldora promises a new horizon for adventurers: money, piles of money (or pickaxe) and a bit 'of Afghan laborers. You have to say the least exported progress and democracy. Mission accomplished one might say.
