The agreement also says the U.S. will help support Afghan economic development, health care programs, education and social initiatives, and stresses that the U.S. remains committed to defending human rights and the right of free speech.
The hypocrisy of these government officials makes me puke. Infrastructure improvements in Afghanistan (and elsewhere) while our own bridges and roads crumble. We're hurting financially, yet amazingly have enough to fund social programs and education in foreign lands. Our own educational system in this country has become a joke. And do we even need to discuss "defending human rights and the right of free speech?"
