The War In Afghanistan Should Also Be A War On Corruption Within!
The Hamid Karzai government is riddled with internal corruption. As someone who has dealt with some of it's bureaucrats said.
When you are dealing with those government officials, make sure that you are prepared to make some financial concessions, in order to get anything done.
These officials are a product of a history of corruption, that has plagued that country for decades. And Hamid Karzai cannot eradicate this cancer anytime soon.
Coupled with the poppy growing and trade, that thousands of farmers depend on for their survival. And the government cannot provide adequate and realistic alternatives to these people, which will induce them to move away from poppy growing.
So dealing with the Taliban elements that infiltrate is even more difficult, because the Taliban is willing to pay for voluntary fighters to their cause. And compensate the volunteer's families for their Jihad involvement.
Derryck.
