  Nautilus Institute Special Forum 39: A Rational System of Government for Afghanistan
This essay is by Dr. Abdul Hay Kayoumy, a retired senior-economist from the IMF and former professor of economics at the University of Washington at Seattle.
Afghanistan's financial and precious resources must be channeled toward the reconstruction and development of the country rather than for the purchases of arms and equipment.
Afghanistan should also be made a free trade zone area to encourage its economy to grow rapidly and reap the benefits of its geographic location at the crossroads of trade and commerce.

 The Militant - March 11, 2002 -- Washington heads toward garrison state in Afghanistan
Moving to reinforce the shaky imperialist-installed government of Hamid Karzai, U.S. government spokespeople are openly discussing several options for an increased military presence in Afghanistan, including expanding the military forces garrisoned there.
In reality, the "warlords" are regional leaders and rival groupings in Afghanistan who retain armed men at their disposal as one of the ways to advance their interests.
With the momentum from the September 11 attacks largely behind them, and the justifications for their military action in Afghanistan under the banner of the "war on terror" wearing thin, defending the government in Kabul is becoming Washington's major preoccupation in the country.

In a speech before a joint meeting of Congress in the House chamber, Karzai also said Afghanistan is struggling to deal with private militias, the narcotics trade and widespread poverty, and he called for continued U.S. help and investment.
Among Afghanistan's recent achievements, he said, have been a program to rebuild schools, resulting in more than 5 million boys and girls attending school today, and the training of an Afghan national army by U.S. troops.
In addition, he noted, Afghanistan still has the second highest infant mortality rate in the world, only 6 percent of the population has reliable access to electricity, farmers routinely struggle with water shortages and the country's vast mineral resources are undeveloped.

 Has the US Government Committed War Crimes in Afghanistan and Iraq?
If today the U.S. government were to put itself on trial, on the same basis it employed to try the Nazis at Nuremberg, for actions taken in Afghanistan and Iraq in recent years, it might have to convict itself—if only for the sake of consistency.
Its government had neither the means nor the intention of waging war against this country; nor did it issue any threat to harm the United States.
That high officials of the U.S. government and their supporters in the news media and elsewhere openly made many false statements to justify the invasion and occupation of Iraq surely exonerates nobody; if anything, those statements cast the guilty parties in an even starker light.
