The Role of America in Rebuilding Afghanistan

The United States of America has played a major role in rebuilding Afganistan and this has resulted in many things, among which some have had positive implications while others have had negative implications. This interference resulted in the formation of a partnership among the two countries in the year 2001. The partnership still exists by today and though it has received many condemnations from the Muslim population, many people consider this partnership to be the best thing that has ever happened to the state of Afghanistan.

Some of the benefits that the world has gained through this collaboration among the two states are reduced threats to international peace and this in turn has boosted world security. Afghanistan has also benefited heavily through this partnership. One of the benefits that has been acquired by Afghanistan is improved security. The security of this country as a whole has been boosted in major airports, hotels and other public gathering areas. The other benefit that has been acquired by the citizens of Afghanistan is improved governance.

The system of governance in the country has been boosted to overwhelming levels. Ever since the American forces captured Saddam Hussein and took him to trial where he was sentenced to death, the country’s system of governance has improved. This eliminated the system of poor governance and leadership in the country. This action also helped to eliminate tyrannical leaders and helped the country to embrace democracy and fairness in elections. The removal of this leader of the government also allowed the country to grow in terms of infrastructure and in other areas.

The infrastructure in the country such as roads, and social amenities such as schools underwent a new transformation that allowed the country to be more habitable to visitors from other countries. The other benefit that the country accrued is improved relations with other countries. These improved relations have allowed the country the ability to trade with other countries – for example, the ability  to trade its rarer commodities. The new system of governance has also created job opportunities for many of its citizens in the oil refineries and mining areas and in other sectors of the economy.

Citizens being engaged in income-generating activities  has helped to eliminate, or rather eradicate the culture of youths and other citizens who are involved in terrorism activities. The partnership between the two states has also resulted in the redrafting of the country’s constitution. The previous constitution did not include clauses that recognized young women and to worsen the situation, did not place emphasis on human rights. The new constitution has encompassed many rights and values so that human beings may coexist with each other.

Unlike the old constitution, this new one allows women to get into parliament not only as representatives of various dockets but also as the head of the state. The constitution also allows for other human rights such as the right of freedom of speech. In general it can be well-put that the country has benefited a lot from the interference of the United States of America.
