Just briefly too, I would like to relate the problem of salary support and corruption to the problem of exit strategy. One of the problems we're facing in Afghanistan now is that, for instance, to create the army, to recruit people and keep them, we have to pay them amounts that are far above what the Government of Afghanistan will ever be able to pay them for the foreseeable future. The same is true for the police and elsewhere.
There is a serious sustainability question--especially as aid donors operate on yearly budget cycles--which deprives the Afghan government of the ability to plan how much it will have in resources.
