ABUL, Afghanistan - Six years after the Taliban's ouster, medical care in Afghanistan has improved such that 89,000 children who would have died before age 5 in 2001 will survive this year, President Hamid Karzai said Sunday.
Saddled for years with one of the world's worst records on child health, Afghanistan has seen access to health care rise dramatically since the U.S.-led invasion.
Thousands of clinics have been built across the country, and the Afghan government and aid agencies have trained tens of thousands of doctors, vaccinators and health volunteers who now reach into some of the country's most remote areas.

Lets get this straight, I DONT agree with the war I thought it was a poor decision with disastrous consequences. However it HAS happened and any armchair general who protests it wasnt the right decision and that Americans and other Allied forces rape and kill everything they see isn't making a damn difference and frankly being plain ignorant, however Im broad viewed enough to see both sides of the Picture for good and for bad....and I can only HOPE that things will Improve and that we can see through the mess created.
Thankyou...
