The international community at large is witnessing the same problem again regarding the lack of staying power when it comes to Afghanistan. I see this as two wrongs, as this action is just a repeat of the disaster that helped put Afghanistan where it is today as a country and a people. One wrong and one right we have a balance, nothing changes as far as the eradication of poverty and empowerment of individual people to pursue education and the right to life, the right to development and the right to significantly change their lives for the better. Looking ahead to the next generation with the international community's' help, I see an empowered nation, on the road to healing from the destruction and devastation of their country over the last few decades, I see a changed Afghanistan that embraces life and human rights, standing up for the greater good and human dignity. Becoming disengaged with this next generation will be costly as it will mean the crumble and decay of all progress made so far and will greatly impede any humanitarian development for the next generations. We simply cannot afford to close the books, close our eyes, or close our hearts. Two wrongs will never make a right.
