(26,860 posts)38. Maybe the negotiations have nothing to do with
enriched uranium and nuclear weapons.
Maybe from the start it's all been about negotiating land and business deals, with US military attacks used as a "negotiating" tool.
I remember that, before 911, US oil and gas companies were trying to negotiate a pipeline deal with the Taliban in Afghanistan. They even entertainedTaliban leaders in Texas during negotiations. In the end, the Taliban awarded the contract to someone else. The US retaliated with threats to carpet bomb Afghanistan. We carried out the threat, but after Al Qaida, based in Afghanisttan, attacked the US on 911.
