You have shown no logical link whatsoever in drawing your unwarranted conclusion Let's put it this way... I wouldn't put it past either Russia or China to have this interest in the back of their minds. Both nations recognize that they need oil to flow far more freely for them to both manage economic growth targets. And there's no reason an oil pipeline wouldn't be an attractive solution to everyone's problems, including Afghanistan's poverty. However, it's Extremist Islam that certainly worries them more and is the primary reason they are providing real, or at least tacit, support for the US. This is one of those "meshing of interests" that certainly people falsely claim to be the primary reasons a certain action was taken. Sure the oil companies would like to see stability in the country so they can build a pipeline. But that's not why the US is there. Hawk
