has been put in place with the support and
under the influence of international donors.
This article examines the reconstruction
process to assess its pace, its appropriateness
and its sustainability. |

| The
widening gap between a Westernized Kabul
and an impoverished, under-educated, and
powerless countryside does not bode well
for Afghanistan. If steps are not taken
to correct the rising imbalance within the
Afghan society, the nation may be thrown
back into a state of utter chaos and lawlessness. |
