Afghan girls attend their first day of
class at a new school built with German
aid money in the village of Deh Hassan,
northern Afghanistan, March 18, 2008,
during a visit by NATO Supreme Commander
General John Craddock. With the world
marking five years since the invasion of
Iraq, a NATO-led force of some 40 states
is at pains to argue it is not losing a
longer war in the deserts and mountains
of Afghanistan. NATO officials say
building schools and repairing vital
infrastructure in parallel to military
efforts are the way ahead in Afghanistan
more than six years after U.S.-led
forces toppled the Taliban in pursuit of
Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda. Picture
