I'm most impressed by the description of road-building efforts. Its been discussed on these boards (this and *other* politics boards) several times over the last few years, but it just makes too much sense to me for economic development in a dry land.
Oh, and water supply. I'm thinking that Water for People program could probably do a world of good in places like that for these poor formerly-oppressed people. As a people, I'm rooting for Afghans like no other ethnic group in the world.
