In a letter to newspaper editors, Ambassador Sa'id Tayeb Jawad said the U.S.-led coalition forces are helping provide the environment needed for strengthening security and democracy in Afghanistan. Afghanistan, he saisd, had already made significant progress in building democratic institutions and strengthening the rule of law. Said Jawad: "Never before have Afghans been as hopeful as now about their future. Some 2.5 million Afghan refugees have returned home. Thousands of internally displaced persons have gone back to their villages and begun normal life." He said Afghanistan also experienced 30 percent economic growth last year, continuing at 20 percent this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWScouter Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 Just a note, the Washington Times is well known for its conservative views. More conservative than the Wall Street Journal and like many papers thorough out the nation. The myth of a monolithic liberal media is just that, a myth.
