Afghan Girls Return to School

Almost all of the girls that were victims of a November Taliban acid attack are back at school this week.  This is a move that takes great courage on the part of the girls and their parents, the teachers, and government officials, and provides some hope for Afghanistan's future.  The question that remains is whether the Afghan authorities, local Afghans, and NATO forces can provide enough security to schools and hospitals that more schools can open, and stay open.  Education, an improved economy, and physical security are three of the key ingredients for lasting stability in the country, which also needs other basic infrastructure.
