Rebuilding Afghanistan

Rebuilding Afghanistan will be "exceedingly difficult and complex," says Arnold Fields, the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction. There is still and insurgency, they have very little in terms of natural resources, and they are a war torn country. The initial investment that will be put into the reconstruction currently stands at a whopping $32 billion. The United States have outspent other countries by 127%. Congress said that they would put 20 million dollars into the auditing effort, but currently have only put in $16 million.

The United States has an obligation to help to fund the rebuilding of Afghanistan, but its sad to see 32 billion dollars, that could be used to help recover our failing economy, invested in these other countries. The war here was just and necessary, but I don't think that the American people are satisfied. Osama bin Laden hasn't been found, and an insurgency still exists. It seems pointless to me to rebuild a country that at any moment could spiral back into turmoil. I don't think that the country is stable enough to start investing in rebuilding it. I don't think that the terrorists are just going to allow the United States to intervene, and be there as much. I think during these troubling times, we should turn in, and look in, and solve our own problems, before those of others.
