What the US calls "compromise" in Aghanistan

" But one irritant was removed when Afghanistan, faced with the possible loss of hundreds of millions of dollars in American aid, backed off a threat to impose fines on the NATO-led coalition over missing paperwork for cargo shipments, Afghan and coalition officials said Thursday.  Afghan officials had contended that the coalition, which is allowed to import supplies duty free, had never filed paperwork to claim the exemption on most of the material it had brought to Afghanistan. They estimated that 70,000 containers had been imported over the past decade and said each was subject to a $1,000 fine now that the coalition was taking its material out. The fine could have totaled $70 million.  The compromise announced on Thursday would see the Afghan government waive the fines in exchange for a coalition pledge to abide by the rules in the future, according to Finance Minister Omar Zakhilwal."
