To Ian Hannam, chairman of J.P. Morgan Capital Markets, Afghanistan represents a gigantic, untapped opportunity -- one of the last great natural-resource frontiers. Hundreds of billions of dollars' worth of iron, copper, rare earth metals, and, yes, gold are buried beneath Afghanistan's deserts and mountains. A lot of powerful people, including the commander of US forces in Afghanistan, Gen David Petraeus, are counting on Hannam to demonstrate that the country is safe for foreign investors. Hannam has chafed at times under the pressure from the Pentagon, and the cold-eyed realist in him wonders whether unrealistic expectations are being placed on this business venture. Of all the obstacles that could have wrecked the mining project -- the murderous roads, the Taliban, the corrupt government -- the one that nearly killed it was the most predictable: the profit margin. Everyone recognized, though, that the deal was too important to die.
