Well done James, I recently learned that the world powers have known since the Russians were in Afganistan, the country has the largest unmined sources of Ruby's, Emeralds and more importantly Lithium, throw in a fair amount of poppys (cocaine). All that wouldn't be of any value would it? NAH! All the best. JT
