Seventeen years of wasted taxpayer money and government mismanagement: millions of U.S. dollars spent on projects to rebuild Afghanistan that have not helped the Afghan people. In some cases, these projects actually put Afghans in danger. This is a Reality Check you won't get anywhere else.

I have a bridge to sell you. In this case a power company in Afghanistan...
I'm betting that money ended up in the pockets of some private military contractor.
Its a scam, and here both the people of the US and the people of Afghanistan end up with the short end.

This is the kind of awesome community project that local corruption undermines. Not just Afghanistan has to deal with this but any 2nd or 3rd World Country where foreign investments are made without surveillance or without political implications.

My best friend just got back from 6 months as medic in Afghanistan. His usual day was treating soldiers who were using herion hoping to go home, and civilians who were casualties of drone bombs. There is so much being lost in that country, and zero good reason for "UN" troops to be stationed there.
