afghanistan has been bad news for countries for, what, 100 years now. the british fell into it for a decade, the russians, the us. that was all before anybody had the tech to find those precious resources. that was when it was just a shit hole, yet it sucked in major developed nations.

no, i *tend* to believe we went there to get obl and, just like the uk and the ussr, the us got sucked in.
