The Afghan war's and the stories of Schweich and Rory on the complication added by opium farming and general antiforeign sentiment.
07/27/2008
Opium farming in the south is supported by the politicians including Karzai and Afghan sentiment generally is against foreigners just as more troops are sought on the ground and in the USA the war is getting politicized for personal advantage by Presidential candidates who do not understand fully what is going on .

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
