Their entire nation has never been developed. Ever. Attempts have been made but all have failed. Many people think that if the US pours enough money in we could just create an infrastructure.

Certain steps and measures have to be taken beyond mere infrastructure building. for example, the American governemnt needs to find a president that can stand without us controlling the puppet strings. I think 99% of american soldiers who go to afghanistan experience the most severe case of culture shock possible.
