it's a mess, and we should clean it up, since we were the messy one who messed up.

So I've been reading a lot of the war on terror in Afghanistan.

I've always been into this military stuff you guys all know.

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t like war, but it’s something we have to face being Human.


This has nothing to do with the invasion of Iraq. (I was against it in fact.)


The funny thing, or should I say awkward, is that now we United States are in a position that we can't really do much rather than stay in the war.


People all talk about we should withdraw right now no matter what, thats just simply non sense. If we do that, we’re making a mistake all over again.
(I donno what to say to those people, either they are retarded or just very poorly informed about the situation)

This war is nothing can be done in months or a few years, it requires a consistent effort from the NATO and US government for at least a decade long if we want to succeed.

We need to help stable the region, provide support to the local government develop the ability to work effectively away from a failed state. Focus on education and other basic needs of the people, win the heart.


This war is a left over mess our government underscored after the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in the 80’s(CIA has the big responsibility), and it eventually went on a snowball roll and resulted in the 911 incident plus other terrorist attacks we’ve seen this pass decade from the Islamic religion.


It’s not the war itself that decides victory, it’s how you handle the aftermath that really tells you if you succeed or not.


Funny thing to hear how the Taliban think about us:

you guys should read this series article from the about a NewYorkTimes reporter being held hostage by the Taliban for 7months
