Not my interview with Karzai
Time interview with Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai
Some points that Karzai brings up in particular is the presence of the international groups contributing to existance of miltias under being supported like quasi security forces. Also he suggested that the international community doesn't see the Afghan viewpoint and often decisions get made which seem correct by them but then results in worse that before. Government corruption allegations get discussed.
I read it and continue to realize how complex and delicate the state of affairs in Aghanistan can be. At this point, it appears there needs be more attention to "Afghanness" of how to aid Afghanistan rather than assert a western model. Doesn't history teach us that Afghanistan won't succomb to the foreign forces pressed against it? Afghanistan will belong to Afghanistan.
Nevertheless, I don't doubt good things are being done by the international community and hopefully will continue. Yet, the bad tends to rise to the top (or at least that's what we see or interpret) in the midst of various forces and pressures.
