I listened to a speaker tonight from Azad Mohammadi who is the Energy, Power & WAter Team Leader and Senior Water Sector Advisor with International Relief and Development (IRD) and is working in Afganistan. It is pretty bad over there, they've been dealing with war and internal conflict for the past 40 years so they haven't done anything with their infrastructure during that time. He said that a tanker truck used to haul waste Mondays and Wednesdays will be used to haul water on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
This guy also said that if anyone is interested in doing work in a post conflict region he could hook us up. "Post conflict" right...

Afghanistan is the country that either get's too much attention or too little attention from the world. When the Soviets invaded the country in the 1980s, the US gave the Afghans tons of money and weapons to defend themselves. After the Soviets leave, we ignore Afghanistan and then the country harbors terrorists- some of them, the same people we armed in the 1980s. Now we're trying to put together a country that consists of warring tribes, an active drug trade, and corruption.
