This is a result of incompitance, partialy on the afgan government and partialy on the nato forces. they have the capabilty to see that the money goes to where it is suppossed to go, but neither truly care, and the afgan government is seeling their pockets with donated money and the UN is using it to fight. No doubt this is a bad situation. May Allah help the people of Afganstan, ameen.
Afganistan is the most broken country in the world. The reasons are many and certainly the many wars that the country has had over the last thirty or forty years has contributed to this state of despairation, but the most compelling thing that keeps this counrty in such dire conditon is lack of capacity. This lack of capasity is caused from their leaderships low to no education and total curruption within the government. These people in charge, from Karzi on down to the local police, are just a bunch of thugs, thieves, and pick pockets. They don't care about their people and are only interested in getting rich from the well intended international community's money. Two or three years down the road, we will be reading reports that will be the same, all the money donated by the West for rebuilding the country has been stolen by these crooks. I say let them rot in hell and lets get out of there.
Yes, put the money where your mouth is because obviously, the aid is not reaching the people, as usual.
