Conflict minerals are defined as gold, cassiterite, wolframite and columbite-tantalite, also called coltan. Cassiterite and coltan are used to make cell phones, computers and other electronics. Wolframite is used in metal seals and other components.

All the comments by the bloggers right below that article are absolutely spot on! This isn't at all about fighting rebels in Africa by cutting off their funds. It becomes seriously stupid when we play by one set of rules in the name of world unity when the rest of the world wants us 6 ft under.

i wonder, really just wonder sometimes, but then it's best to just make sure the firing pins are in place.
