Afghanistan Is A Land-locked Country.

So, The International Community Are All The Countries That Are Important: The United States Definitely Everywhere; The European Union Because It Is Very Important, And Also, They Do Show A Great Deal Of International Responsibility; And Then The Local Players.

I Think A Failed State Is The Responsibility Of The People Who Have Made That State Fail, And Those Are Generally The People Of That Country.

The Events Of September 11 And What Has Happened Since Have Made People Understand That Even A Small, Distant And Far Away Country Like Afghanistan Cannot Be Left To Break Up Into Anarchy And Chaos Without Consequences For The Whole World.
