Hello Dear Daniel:
I really like your weblog and I usually read your articles; I like it more when I find stuff on Kabul and Afghanistan!!
btw: recently I have been reading “The making of Modern Afghanistan” by B.D. Hopkins; the author asks a reasonable question: “Is international aid simply a ‘modern manifestation’ of the British subsidy policy which under-wrote the survival of the Afghan state in the later half of the nineteenth century?”.
I always think about the effectiveness of aid and Afghan on going insecurity, does Afghanistan receive a ‘real’ aid at the moment? I have no answer for it,
