Semester Two: Blog 12

Dear Mr. President,

Its now finally the end of the war with Afghanistan, and I want to definitely address having a Marshall Plan with the country. I think we should always have Marshall Plans with countries, I know that would cost a lot of money but it would also be a step closer to world peace through our alliances. A prime example of why we should almost always do the Marshall Plan is when American chose to fight through the Afghani rebels to bring down the USSR. We trained them, gave them supplies and weapons until they finally held them off long enough to have the USSR think they were defeated. This was a great victory for Afghanistan, but once the war was over we just stopped giving them money and support. But because of the war all of the houses and building were in ruin and instead of helping and using the Marshall Plan we left them there alone. This later led to the 9/11 World Trade Center attack and the war we are in now. So please consider having a Marshall Plan with Afghanistan.

Sincerely,

Maira Vierheller
