Unfulfilled promises
Whoever pulls the strings though, little can be done in the way of rebuilding Afghanistan without one thing -- money.

In January a meeting of donor nations in Tokyo agreed to provide an unprecedented $4.5 billion to Afghanistan over the next five years.

As part of that deal a special trust fund administered by the World Bank was set up to help the government cover its annual budget, projected at around $460 million.

All grand promises which, ministers in the new government say, have yet to be delivered on.

With every passing day the need is ever more urgent and the warnings ever more stark.

By failing to deliver on promised funds, Afghan officials warn, the international community is in danger of letting Afghanistan slide once again into the kind of chaos that allowed it to become a base for Osama bin Laden and his terrorist cohorts.

Another failed state in Afghanistan could be an option the rest of the world can ill afford.

.........................

Prior to a few decades ago, Afghanistan had been ruled by a monarchy for more than two centuries. In 1973, citing corruption in the royal family, Afghan Prime Minister Mohammed Daoud Khan organized a military coup, overthrew the ruling king and declared himself president of a new republic.

Five years later, a communist radical faction calling itself the People’s Democratic Party of Afghanistan murdered Daoud and most of his government and installed itself as the controlling body of a new totalitarian socialist state.

The PDPA, like all communist movements, was strongly hostile to religion. The new government abolished religious and tribal laws and courts, banned the wearing of burqas by women and outlawed mosques.

The anti-Islamic and anti-traditional initiatives were met with forceful resistance, and the new totalitarian regime imposed harsh sanctions on those it declared to be enemies of the revolution.

Because the laws there are not being proposed by the people, the government is the one that devises and sets the laws; therefore the judicial and legislative systems there are not being independent from the government and work for and in the government's interest only.

(When you see the judicial and legislative systems are not being completely independent from the government, that is a totalitarian state. )

Because of the record on human rights, suppliers of narcotics to Europe, unstable government.......etc. The horror news clips of women executions shocked the world.
Maybe there are other countries like that. Recent Afghanistani history made it necessary for the UN to act with the help of NATO.
