Show more »"Dear Mr Aleander, Have you ever been to Kabul the Capital of Afghanistan where some 30 countries specially the developed countries such Britain and the United State are fighting a war or being phsically there? Have you noticed the the Capital of a country where all the big and pround nation such as British and US boost helping them with rebuiding of their country? Is not not shame that the capital of that country look like? Does not it give the people of afghanistan and the world that the western civilization has not helped this country at all by looking at the roads condistion, electricity supply, and other facilities which are appalling? Does not it gives the impression to the Taliban and Al Qaida, who are the most brutal terrorists on earth, that they are right with their claims that the west is not honest with their promise? How would they come and give up their weapons and joing the democratic goverment by seeing the situation in the Capital? I believe Kabul is showing the commitment, and honesty of the the Western countries, also it is the core of keeping the people together and earn the heart and mind. So please build it up and show your glory." Show less »
