I can't imagine why a US or Canadian company would risk major long-term capital to develop a huge copper mine in Afghanistan. There are plenty of other sizable copper deposits around the world that don't involve that high degree of political risk.

The US mission is to deter the militant Islamists, so if Chinese economic involvement helps achieve that then it's a win-win deal as far as I'm concerned. But my earlier recommendation for the Chinese still stands: buyMRAPs.
