The New Minerals Race

From a blog maintained by the Financial Times called Beyond BRICs comes this report on the minerals race happening in Afghanistan between India and China. The "ore on terror" as comedian Jon Stewart refers to it means a whole new world of hurt for the people of Afghanistan. 
Stephen Colbert says that this gives the US (and its coalition partners) justification for "staying the course" (see below). He makes reference to the "resource curse" in his usual parodying style.
