Rohde, David. "How a ‘Good War’ in Afghanistan Went Bad'." NY Times. 12 August 2007. 15 March 2009. http://www.nytimes.com/2007/08/12/world/asia/12afghan.html?scp=1&sq=How%20a%20



As the war in Iraq began, troops that were stationed in Afghanistan were relocated to fight in Iraq. This action by the Bush Administration was questioned by many people because it seemed like all the work we had done to support Afghanistan had gone to waste. Later on, groups of NATO ambassadors went to Kabul, Afghanistan and surveyed a 'triumph'. The Taliban were so decimated that they didn't even pose a threat anymore. This war is invovled with improvenments of health care, education, economy, and the quality of life in the cities.
