Then you can't compare it to anything either, can you? Kabul is a 'ruin', compared to what? Miami Beach? I seem to remember that Kabul experienced a Soviet invasion and civil war since 1979 and that when the Taleban finally controlled Kabul they closed most of the schools and hospitals and schools, threw out most of the foreigners, refused foreign aid or development and were content to unwind the clock about 600 years.

At any rate the simple fact is that best case, Afghanistan will remain a loose confederacy of tribal groups all more or less connected to one another through the central government in Kabul which serves to funnel outside contacts, contracts, media and aid. This is really the history of Afghanistan so results will be slow. Buuut rest assured that if there were progress you'd be screaming about undue American influence anyway.
