This is such a tragedy.
I hope ano...Make me weep. This is such a tragedy.<br /><br />I hope anonymous doesn't think things were any better under Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld because the were not. <br /><br />I'd like to see the Taliban exterminated as much as the next person but blowing up villages is never going to work. We need infiltration, education for the people (so they quit joining and/or tolerating the Taliban) and discreet assassinations to get the job done. Yes- I said that. Discreet assassinations as opposed to out loud, massive assassinations that involve a lot of collateral damage to innocent bystanders.21stCenturyMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02370504811536749950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13605970.post-14103516706134803492009-08-27T00:29:45.109+03:002009-08-27T00:29:45.109+03:00There is no denying that the US (and other) milita...There is no denying that the US (and other) military within Afghanistan are showing everyone the true meanings of patriotism, comradeship and democratic governance but why is everyone so surprised when the ANA do not fall into step? Afghanistan's tend to be nicer to strangers than to each other. I'm not sure they even really like each other very much. Afghanistan has been split for a very long time and a bloody civil war will divide, and further subdivide, people often into what resembles tribes headed by notorious, corrupt and vicious warlords. I can understand why the US initially entered Afghanistan after 9/11 but to stay in a military sense seems a waste of money, time and lives. Do we really need to pour money into Afghanistan via war? Think about it even 9/11 was a very 'cheap' operation. The operation was done not using expensive weapons (chemical or nuclear) or huge amounts of military but a handful of delusional individuals not afraid to die. 9/11 may have even been the ultimate in corruption not war remember the financial markets moved a great deal that day and money was made. It takes education and working together to breed tolerance and understanding amongst people. Americans do not have to think too much or look back too far to understand how split a country and people can be. Maybe with a different sort of intervention Afghanistan will grow up within the cultural and moral guidelines it chooses. More than anything it needs a leader who can unite through fairness. A leader who looks after its people and builds Afghanistan into a country that uses its resources positively with religion and culture dictating moral guidelines. Not unlike the Communists of China did and the Muslims of the UAE.( Afghanistan was initially split by communism and Islam) People with purpose and secure lives for their wives and children tend to behave differently to fearful, hungry, ignorant individuals. The Taliban already have what they want in Afghanistan, a Muslim population, so maybe they can stop fighting too and start building.Dr Bzzzznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13605970.post-6431707297112593802009-08-26T21:47:31.295+03:002009-08-26T21:47:31.295+03:00Thank you so much Mal and Greg...The truth is not ...Thank you so much Mal and Greg...The truth is not always pretty nor is it usually well accepted. It seems our so called leaders, civilian not military, are no better equipped or inspired than the Afghan Army is. You know....sometimes it does make you look up at the stars at night and wonder.....what the hell is going on here....and the answer I get back nobody wants to hear. Yes, all we have to look forward to is more of the cream of the US, our Military men, being wounded and dying because we have been left without political leaders worth a damn...for various reasons..Go figure Mal. Hope you get out of that hell hole safely and again..no thank you is enough. <br />a&nAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
