Letter from Kabul

I have written a "Letter from Kabul" for the online journal Democratiya; you can read it at www.democratiya.com/review.asp?reviews_id=53 (direct link). In the letter, I discuss the deterioration of the situation in Afghanistan and explain what I think needs to happen for things to take a turn for the better. The focus is on democracy, as you might figure from the name of the journal.
