How lucky are the Afghans, huh? First they get to live on a major strategic crossroads, so everyone and his brother wants to march across their territory. Then air and sea travel make their crossroads a backwater and nobody cares, so they can enjoy decades of bloody civil war. And now they can enjoy all the blessings of the loving attention of major powers and international mining companies vying for mineral rights.

Does it get any better than that?
