A President's Dilemma legitimately - Send More military - Yes Or No

The War in Afghanistan is spicy to say the least, and something that is most uncomfortable to the American population is a looming question; "Why are we there?" If we are there to attack the Taliban, then why? Did they attack the New York Trade Towers or was it Al Qaeda, and if it was both, as in the Taliban training camps trains enemies against the Usa, and Al Qaeda carried out the attacks and we want to wipe them out, then we need to go after them with vengeance.

Are we doing that?

If so, what's taking so long? And if we can't because they are hiding in Pakistan where we can't go get them, then we lose, or we allow the drones to pick them off one evil doer at a time?

Now it seems we are re-building Afghanistan, but why? We didn't destroy it, that country was bombed back to the stone age by the Russians before us and there has been inter-country violence forever and a day there in that region, all the way back some 3500 years, that we know about, truly longer.

Thus, if our young president decides to add the 30,000 further troops, he needs to remind the American population once again why we are there, and the message must be believable. If he decides not to he must justify why he is going against the mission he set out to continue and against the guidance of his soldiery commanders there. Remember this is costing a whole lot of much needed cash.

Many political analysts would call this a catch-22, as would I, and some would say it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. Oh, my, see how politics can get? A president's dilemma indeed, damned if you do, damned if you don't and whatever is done like it or not the polls won't. If the Us leaves, the Taliban and Al Qaeda will claim victory regardless of the reality, and all the human proprietary challenges that exist will continue, along with the drug crops. Please think all this.

Afghanistan's Trillion Dollar Mineral Deposits and Bolivia's Mining Infrastructure Dilemma

Perhaps you have heard that in Afghanistan they have found between one and trillion worth of mineral deposits. And when you look at the list of exotic metals, power resources, and important minerals it's almost as if Afghanistan, a landlocked country in the middle of nowhere, is sitting on a gold mine of raw materials. Of policy there is a challenge to all this; Afghanistan still doesn't have sufficient roads and highways. And it no ifs ands or buts doesn't have major roads between some of the largest mineral deposits.

Yes, it could take almost a decade to build the roads principal to move these minerals and raw materials to market, and to put forth the infrastructure to dig that matter the ground. Nevertheless, they are they are, and this is good news for Nato and Us forces, because it shows that Afghanistan no ifs ands or buts does have a future, albeit out a concentrate decades from now. Of course, because China is in desperate need of raw materials, and since it is only one major mountain region away, possibly things are not as bad as they look.

The world is quite good at building roads, and we obviously have the market tool needed, and the quality to build more to control these mines on a huge scale. If push came to shove, this could be done rather quickly, of policy we need stability in the nation first. Someone else captivating point is that the Taliban, and many Afghanistan farmers are busy growing poppies to make drugs, and those drugs are destabilizing many countries and societies. The opium trade is alive and well throughout the world.

Of policy you just can't turn it off right away or many of the farmers and all their workers will starve, because there are not a lot of other resources, jobs, or things to do in that vast country, without a carport civilization behind things like; water, education, transportation, distribution, energy, security, and economy. Still, finding one to trillion worth of mineral deposit is by all means; of course a plus.

Now, let me collate this to Someone else landlocked country in the middle of South America; yes I speak of Bolivia which is also rich in mineral deposits, and happens to have giant salt flats containing lithium. Remember, lithium is needed for batteries for cell phones, and electric cars. Infrastructure is also needed care, but many associates are shying away because they don't trust socialist leader Evo Morales who is currently president.

As you may or may not know the Bolivian president has nationalized many mines, and that has many foreign investors somewhat sketchy on putting in large amounts of infrastructure to help them get the lithium out and into market. Both countries Afghanistan and Bolivia can be compared, as Afghanistan is trying to move up in the world, Evo Morales is driving his country downward. Both are landlocked countries, without sufficient roads and infrastructure to get all their most principal natural resources out of the country. Please reconsider all this.
