I support Napoleon's suggestion (never thought I'd say that).

In terms of the government accepting/rejecting funds, I'd include a clause saying that if review shows the government misappropriating the money, then the aid be withdrawn immediately.  In terms of overseeing the distribution, I'd keep in close contact with the US Embassy, and have the SoEA reports include use of funds.

Does that help?

I don't see how that deals with the issue of setting up a program that does things Afghan leaders may not approve of.

Yeah, sorry about that (it wasn't intentional Yank).  Honestly, there isn't a lot we can do to make the Afghan government support this, other than telling them that if they refuse to implement the programs, they don't get the money.  The benefits are great, but so are the risks.

To be honest, I'm inclined to agree with the President's reservations.  I'm worried that it is simply not realistic to expect this bill to have a real impact.  However, you may say I'm a dreamer, therefore: AYE
