I see the EU is to pump 1 BILLION Euros in aid into Afghanistan. The US a furthur $64 million, all laudable efforts, don't get me wrong, but how can a country develop to a place where it can stand on its own two feet free from outside help, why would a country have an incentive to throw off killing each other and using more and more sophisticated weaponary if you keep pumping monies into the place and corruption is rife, as in life at some point you need to withdraw the teat and let the young fend for themselves no matter how hard that may be.
