Another article pulled from the old Anthurian archives for the true “Historical Perspective” that it provides. This was originally posted on May 23rd, 2002.
It’s interesting what you turn up when doing a Google search on the term “oil pipeline afghanistan”. I was looking for a more recent article regarding this subject but came across a couple other ones a bit older. This article from December 4th, 1997 details the Taleban’s visit to Texas to discuss building a pipeline through Afghanistan. I trust the BBC news as a reputable source and this is the article that I was originally looking for.
I don’t trust non-profit organizations like this one though. Can you guess what they’re agenda is? Well if a pipeline can’t be built in Alaska then we’ll get our crude from someplace else and it seems the Russians are wondering the same thing as some of us Americans.
