The American War in Afghanistan is NOT about oil!

Yes, my fellow "war fans", the evil conspiracy theorists of this world have it all wrong this time: Oil is NOT the reason our New World Order fans have committed so many of our young men to fight and die in the barren desert, which is Afghanistan: If you will humor me, and click on the title, the scales will miraculously fall from your weary eyes, and you will finally quit bad-mouthing the good intentions of our new US government. It's all about our need for natural gas!
The Trans-Afghanistan Pipeline (TAP or TAPI) is a proposed natural gas pipeline being developed by the Asian Development Bank. It will transport Caspian Sea natural gas from Turkmenistan through Afghanistan into Pakistan, and then to India. The Afghan "government" is expected to receive 8% of the project's revenue.
Whatever it costs, the project is certainly worth the many lives which must yet be sacrificed to achieve this "holy" objective.
