"Faint Heart never won fair Lady!" It's really not the "fear" thing. Investing $5 billion for creating infrastructure in Afghanistan would achieve more than increasing the defense budget over the next years by $500 billion. Escalating the "war on terror" militarily is a gross misappropriation of scarce funds. The West is failing miserably in fulfilling reconstruction promises in Afghanistan. <Afghan government statistics, however, showed that donors have disbursed only about $1.5 billion in aid by November 2002 of $2.1 billion promised for the full year.> myafghan.com
