The problem is, the issues of the actual people there get set aside as business takes priority, adding fuel to the terrorist's fire among other things.

You would rather there not be a 3 billion investment that could help fund the goverment. Which would help fund schools and infrastructure.

Does anybody know now to read or think? I saaid that megaprojects like the pipeline are exactly the wrong way to develope a country. Money money money, get real. Ordinary people aren't going to benefit from a pipeline. There needs to ve investment in infrastructure that supports local industry and self sufficiency. Do a little reading on international development and the total mess mega deals have brought.

I am desperately trying to impart my truth on everyone. Except, people don't seem very receptive to it at all. In fact, I seem to be flatly ignored most of the time.
It couldn't be a flaw in myself or my message only a flaw in everyone else. I sure wish everyone was as enlightened as I am so I wouldn't have to keep explaining
how simple it is to accept my truth. My truth is THE truth. I feel like a righteous sheppard among lost foolish sheep.
Congratualations to myself for having the patience to mingle with the herd.

Just listen to me, understand and follow my words and all will be okay. I can lead you all out of the darkness.
Here, drink this Kool-Aid. I know it smells like almonds and taste kind of bitter but it's the only way you can fully grasp my truth! :)

I wish it were that simple Frances, but here I wasn't trying here to impart some great truth, although I realize that to you the obvious probably does seem like a big deal. I was merely refering to the fact that after I published a number of links, choosen completely at random, the first four that came up, all of which talked about how megaprojects aren't good porjects to rebuild busted societies and ones that consentrate on local economies do work, I kept getting told how the pipeline will benefit Afhanistan. It's not my truth, it is scientificlly investigated and established ecomonic research. It may just look like my truth but it's really only just the truth. I'm not going to find 4 links to my truth. My truth is only for fools.

:D
