| Summary/Abstract |
In assisting states facing insurgencies, few subjects are more vital than understanding the manner in which external aid can be applied in a sustainable manner. Colombia, touted by proponents as a case study for astute application of external reinforcement for democracy, is just as often held up by critics as an illustration of the misplaced priorities of the US. No part of the critique is more prevalent than assertions concerning the nature of US military assistance. American aid to counterinsurgency filled particular capacity gaps and enhanced capabilities that already existed. These were possible due to the Colombian ability to absorb input.

| Summary/Abstract |
More than half of Afghanistan's population is under twenty-five, which shouldn't be surprising since the average life span there is forty-nine. But the United States Agency for International Development looked at this group and decided it needed help because, it said, these young people are "disenfranchised, unskilled, uneducated, neglected-and most susceptible to joining the insurgency." So the agency chartered a three-year, $50 million program intended to train members of this generation to become productive members of Afghan society. Two years into it, the agency's inspector general had a look at the work thus far and found "little evidence that the project has made progress toward" its goals.
