Well...if I had known! Infrastructure is vital to a unified state. I extend my thanks to the American tax-payer, one and all, and to the service units, contractors, specialists, and engineers that make it happen in Afghanistan.

My thought is that it may be an eastern example one of those ancient (Roman) roads one sees sometimes in Europe. A fragment of an old Successor state road, for example.

Its a stone set in concrete village road.Nice stonework huh> obviously done with local skill but perhaps with US cement and heavy haulerr for the stone and gravel/sand. The USA gave Afghanistan its first completely paved road running from North to South through the country, as well. This had a huge ipact. We also completely upated their ages old irrigatiob syste around the major rivers, its shicking to see how effective it was.Looks like the Nile valley.GREEN! Yet Obama has said nothing about it. I guess Bush doesn't deserve any credit for that, or for liberating 50 million Iraqis.
