RE: Blast Off"the Chinese are communists also and most every mulinational of any note has invested heavily there"
Todays communism is not a bad thing as paranoid American psycho capitalist exploiters with fancy homes and 100 ft yachts would have you believe as they eat caviar and drink champagne while those they exploit are starving. As long as Friedland is sensitive to the people in Mongolia there will never be a problem imo.
I would venture a guess that Canadian miners are far more welcome in Mongolia and China than American murderers are in Iraq and so I would never invest in any American enterprise, whether oil or mining in Iraq.
