Kudos to Brent Huffman and his crew for taking such a risk to produce a most worthwhile documentary about this important archeological monumnet in Asia.

It’s ironic and telling…centuries of wars against the Afghan people by the British, Russians and Americans failed to sway or conquer these hardy people. However, when the Chinese arrive with their mega-bucks, Afghan society and leaders kowtow to their new masters permitting them to wipe out priceless artifacts. The Aghanis should remember that when the great powers invaded China, the conquerors made off with thousands of years of Chinese heritage in the form of statues, priceless heirlooms and other artifacts. China has never forgotten this and has been constantly scouring museums and private collectors to reclaim their rightful heritage.
But money talks…how much of this filthy lucre in investment will end up in the pockets of the Karzai brothers and other seletced cronies, not to mention the selected Chinese themselves?
How many people will die either naturally or by other means in the exploit of this tainted copper?
Horrific !!!
