		<description>I would like to inform readers of this site about a report on Afghanistan I have just written for the Council on Foreign Relations.  It is called &quot;Afghanistan&#039;s Uncertain Transition from Turmoil to Normalcy&quot; and can be found at http://cfr.org/publication/10273/.  The report argues that while the country now has political institutions, the changes that have taken place are not yet sustainable.  Implementing the Afghanistan Compact will require changes in Afghanistan&#039;s relations with its neighbors, the behavior of its government, how donors give aid, and how the US and NATO pursue their military and security objectives.  It echoes a lot of the concerns expressed by participants here.  I would welcome any comments.</description>
