Golf in Kabul
2004-06-02
EFL
The Kabul Golf Course is like most things in Afghanistan, a work in progress best seen in terms of potential than reality. It might seem crass to be opening a golf course when hundreds of thousands of Kabul residents still live without proper shelter, but this is the way development happens in a postwar zone.
Crass, my ass. All our intel guys need something to do in between applying the cheese grater to the tally’s skull. (Sorry! I guess the secrets out now!)
Schools and clinics and roads are built, electricity and water are restored, and here and there the trappings of a prosperous prewar society are revived.
What happened? I thought the sky was falling?
