I think with Iraq, the rebuilding/reinvestment was seen on paper as a possible boon but they forgot to factor the disgruntled insurgents into the equation. There was a U.S Senator who suggested (after hearing of the huge mineral wealth of Afghanistan) that Afghanistan should pay the U.S back in trade for minerals.

One huge mining operation. That would be something positive, if there was any wealth at all there. Sure though, the region was unstable and it did not cooperate with other governments, so now the new constitution is supposed to work for them, bring them to the table in however many years it takes to restructure.
