Afghan village mullah Bas Mohammad, center,
speaks with United States soldier Lt. Ross Weinshanker from
Bravo Company, 2nd Battalion of the 508th Parachute Infantry
Regiment and an interpreter during a patrol in the village of
Charbagh in the volatile Arghandab Valley, outside Kandahar
City. Mohammad said residents in Charbagh never see
government representatives --- not doctors, teachers or
agriculture workers --- even though the village sits on the edge
of the south's largest city, Kandahar. In areas such as
these, where government authorities rarely venture, patrolling
NATO troops are not just a security force: They are also envoys
of the Afghan government.
