A group based in America has formed with the goal of alleviating poverty in Afghanistan and the withdrawal of American troops. This group is called: Jobs For Afghans, http://www.facebook.com/... It plans to accomplish its goals by the implementation of a "Marshall" type plan.

The Marshall Plan http://en.wikipedia.org/... was a successful post World War II program that pumped huge amounts of American aid into Europe in the 1940's and 50's to effect it's democratic, political, economic and social stability. This group hopes to get others involved so that American politicians will be encouraged into starting another program that would emulate The Marshall Plan. It remains to be seen whether this movement for such an extensive aid plan will be supported by the American people in light of its own present and deplorable economic down turn.
After all, we have many problems as home. A government that is now run by an increasingly sly and hostile elite group of Republican and Democratic politicians who do not care what the people think or want if it does not reward them or their corporate masters financially. Michael Moore's movie on Capitalism was an excellent primer on how filthy and corrupt the ruling elite of our country has become, almost becoming their own class of "Royalty".
