Hello.
I'll start with the subject how of much aid the US has given to
Afghanistan since 9/11:
"Since September 11, 2001, the United States provided nearly $900
million for Afghan relief and reconstruction."
Source: US Agency for International Development
http://www.usaid.gov/afghanistan/
"Since October 1, 2001, the U.S. has committed $840 million in
humanitarian and reconstruction aid to help the people of Afghanistan
with the U.S. fulfilling 95 percent of the $297 million pledged at the
Tokyo Conference in January 2002. The international community pledged
$5 billion for Afghanistan, including humanitarian and reconstruction
assistance. The international community in 2002 pledged $2 billion for
Afghanistan, nearly all of which ($1.88 billion) has been spent or is
in the pipeline."
