...shattered country has done more to weaken the Taliban and al-Qaeda than any military operation, say Afghan and American officials. U.S. troops who arrived in Afghanistan expecting to battle Taliban in the ravines now find themselves instead in grim, barren places like Omar's village laying irrigation pipe.

Reprivatization could potentially scare away foreign investors, too, and, depending on which deals go under the microscope, may even hurt some Yushchenko supporters who benefited from previous privatizations, such as Petro Poroshenko, now head of the National Security and Defense Council, and Petro...
