With the pressure to build nuclear weapons (or otherwise weaponize to destroy
the great western satan, or the 7 'underserved' satans) removed,
Afghanistan's already looking much much better.

As to electricity, it's less humid than high Colorados, so you could run
a household off static electricity from a lambskin windbreak, if you didn't
have a couple of square feet of rayon; no need
to blow $10k at a time digging in solar/natural-gas condensation stations;
but then with no digs (tent palaces, desert roads,) no agronomy shelter
bonus.

For radical Islam, they have a lot of square-cornered buildings!
(Or now, Apple Design buildings.)

On top of that, the people's inclination to spoil-sport (i.e. cache self-
destruction, and flush cache for the arrival of new maintainers) seems
exaggerated.  Who'd know?

Very low coastal management, environmental externality worries,
sandboxing considered nonharmful, hot enough in the day to practically
optic-multiclad glass-fiber itself without SDI signoff, 
low in CJkV vectors, possible rebirth for hardcore 
"Survivor" series theme (look!  a hidden secret stash of lanolin!,) 
very very cheap no-VOC drycleaning, open commodities (easily
traceable famine, pestilence, war, whining, raman amplification,)
huge market potential for lowercase arabic, unicode domain authorities,
inflatables considered patriotic.

Absolute dream for technical colleges spreading research, global
partnership wings, all zeal being the same; vacation haven for 
Super Monkey Ball championship; P2P:B2B real estate markets; 


 	
...AND the place practically rubbing-compound and turtle-waxes itself....

It's ripe for overclocking.
