Dear MUNer, I've removed your comment on the main page. What delegation are you? Assuming you are on the security council for Belfast, I will see you tomorrow!195.195.166.31 14:50, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

So is "As of 2002, Afghanistan is led by an interim government headed by Hamid Karzai" still true now it's 2003, and if so should it be updated? -- Nevilley 18:35 Feb 21, 2003 (UTC)

I'm not particularly knowing about Afghanistan, but I can tell that the following wording does not give a credible impression.

(...) the Taliban, which lost recognition from all other countries in the world except Pakistan after the September 11 terrorist attacks against the United States. As of October 2001, only Pakistan recognized the Taliban government, though Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates had in the past.

If only three countries of the world had recognized Afghanistan's Taliban government, then it's a contradiction to state that it lost recognition from "all other countries in the world". Further, the recognition of a government is linked to the government's control over a state, and recognition is not "revoked" unless the government loses the control. In other words, one would expect that the war against Afghanistan was the cause of the government's loss of recognition, not a terrorist attack against the United States. -- Johan Magnus 00:52 19 May 2003 (UTC)

There is no need to analyze every link we put in. I think we should removed the lengthy descriptions. --Jiang 00:20, 7 Sep 2003 (UTC)

The whole point of the lengthy source descriptions was that contributors could use them to review and then make their own contribution to the article, which clearly relies on too few sources and needs a lot of revision.

This is obviously an article in transition. I personally need both a TOC and an annotated source listing so I can work on providing more depth and breadth to the article. Cut and pasted material from two CIA fact books is not sufficent.

Instead of constantly reverting I will create a separate entry that I can work on using the tools I need: namely, a detailed listing of sections and descriptions of the sources I, or anyone else, may want to use to revise.

At some point I'll resubmit it to this present entry, if appropriate. -- CBorges 05:31, 7 Sep 2003 (UTC)

This page needs a serious update of facts! For instance the constitution is in. I do not understand the necessaity of such a grim view of Afghanistan either, though I'm not very knolwedgeable in politics, I don't hear so much bad news from Afghanistan as this article suggests. Is anybody watching this page?

[edit] Cleaned

Ya, I agree, this article was a mess. I fixed it now to the best of my ability. It so more up to date as of early 2005. I also removed the attention link. Still, I encourage others to help out in improving this article, perhaps to article of the month status?. It leaves so much still to be desired. Stranger

[edit] ==

"Also, the system is quite new, implementation of which began only 2004, just after decades of war between different factions and warlords, the remnants of which is almost non existent. " This is grammatically broken, but I can't fix it without knowing what the referent to "remnants" was supposed to be? remnants of warlords? remnants of factions? remnants of decades? Its kinda too broken to fix--it needs to be rewritten probably, but I don't know what it is trying to say.

[edit] Update needed: April 2005 parliamentary elections

I put two {{update}} tags in there, both in the Elections and Legislative sections, because both mention the April 2005 elections from an advance perpective. (Very nice article, though!) PhilipR 19:02, 24 May 2005 (UTC)

Not really, it's extremely out of date. In 2002 it might have been a good page. Anyway, I'm going to try and write something up about the legislative election. --RaiderAspect 00:56, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
