“The care of human life and happiness and not their destruction is the first and only legitimate object of good government.” (Thomas Jefferson - US President, 1801-1809)
It is far
easier to destroy then to build; a single explosion can destroy in a
moment a building that took weeks to construct. This holds true for
physical artefacts as well as the human character. A single incident can
tarnish an individual’s reputation permanently, but it takes years to
build a good name and gain the trust of the community. Applying this
axiom of ‘destruction being easier than reconstruction’ to Afghanistan, the country needs political stability, a rebuilding programme, and a thorough cleansing of the existing network of corruption.
