The Buddhist city of Mes Aynak is being destroyed by the chinese government to mine cooper. This city has anicent temples, is a hub for Asiain trade and has been around since the Bronze age. We cannot let such places to be destroyed. Would we destroy Rome just to mine some cooper?
Rome destroyed itself. Copper is used for many things in America. We need copper and other metals. But seriously stuff like that needs to be preserved like Mt. Rushmore and Lady Liberty.
