Afghans are too busy ripping off the sites--Mes Aynak is one and another
Buddhist site not far off is already about ruined thanks to treasure
hunting. News reports always say "by locals" but I suspect higher-ups are
involved and have their guys in there as well.

Since the Afghan Government doesn't seem to be very interested in preserving
the site. - perhaps they should just sell off everything there to museums
and collectors. At lest this might generate enough income to allow them to
put off starting the copper mine until everything of value had been removed.
