Road Linking Afghan Cities Nears Completion
Success in road construction here means not only making day to day life easier for the citizens; it facilitates the success of the first democratically elected Afghan government.

“The best weapons of the Taliban are not IEDs (improvised explosive devices) and RPGs (rocket propelled grenades) — its ignorance and isolation,” said Paolozzi. “The road we’re building destroys both of those weapons by giving the people freedom of mobility and the capability to learn what the Afghani government is doing for them. They won’t need to be dependant on the Taliban for information, twisted thinking, or municipal support.”

We need to remember that Afghanistan is still struggling to purge itself of the infection of extremism and that we still have soldiers building, guarding, and supporting there. Please continue to support our troops in Afghanistan and the Afghani people who are trying to build a better future for their country.
