Mr. Kelly,
I am interested in your idea that post conflict aid can sometimes lead to even more conflict. You mentioned the tree planting in Haiti and the water wells in Sudan. Can you provide more examples to support your theory further?

This blog mentions many situations in Africa. I wonder how the military will navigate some of these tough issues of political instability and environmental degradation. Additionally, the newly created Africa Command will play an important role in these operations to support Africa during conflict and post-conflict reconstruction.
