I found it at this site (collection of documents about Afghanistan from UCBerkeley): http://mosaic.echonyc.com/~onissues/su98goodwin.html
I have a question for you. Some of the things I've read say that Afghanistan is one of most "mineral rich" countries, others say that there's not much of monetary value (besides opium) . . . and a some activists say this all boils down to oil . . .
Can someone point me to an article, or some reference that will clarify this for me? I'm really trying to find out as much as I can, make sure I'm getting a clear picture of the situation.
===== ". . (A)ctivists must begin by rallying support for what they favor, not simply emphasizing what they're against. In these times, war is a failure of imagination -- and so is the traditional peace protest. Folks need to hear the better alternative. . . .There's no reason a vision of a world of greater peace and economic justice cannot be wed to what makes strategic sense. We should, in fact, demand it." Geov Parrish,
