=The war on terror must continue if the One World Government (OWG) is to prosper. Please support the Federal Reserve and their Wars by insisting on the U.S. Dollar and of course buying U.S. Bonds.

Have we tied-up those Iraq oil contracts yet? -No? =Iraq "War" must continue. Find those terrorists !!

I think I need to go back to the US and teach these people how to fight wars. You never gonna end a warr trying to win hearts and minds, especially with people who think differently than you.

I dread a whole other new war with someone else.

Afghanistan vital to U.S. security? The USSR thought so too at one time with over 90,000 troops fighting for ten years. Can anyone say Waterloo?

Of course it's going to take many more years. Obama had to re-invigorate the war in Afghanistan. The prior adminiatration had left the military hanging out there with not anywhere near enough troops.

Yes, it'll take many more years to fight a war where we allowed the Taliban the opportunity to dig theirselves into more towns and villages. We've got to fight more now then before.

Right skipthesong, come back, re-enlist and show the troops show it's done. < :-)

The warring factions due to various different objectives, in afghanistan,are the reason for afghan woes.

Burhanuddin rabani, one of political faction via Jamiat -i- islami afghnaistan,has survived a assasination attempt,yesterday at kunduz.

The local political solutions is also very war like/overthrow in character,via abundance of weapons/drugs/militants in afghanistan.

There has been too many toppling of regimes via violence/militantcy in afghan past. Afghans need to get more civilian mentality into their national governance systems and move away from strongman improper leadership systems.

Only way is to reduce casualties to minimum via good governance, which is lacking in afghan leaders .

The leaders in afghanistan should take all precautions and afghan citizens/warring factions need to voluntarily surrender weapons to govt/others to keep for them.

There is a lot revenge/hate/anger/weapons among afghans due to long wars in afghanistan for decades. There too much people being shot/bombed in afghan society,leading ever more to more woes.

Weapons free afghanistan is the way to solve woes,which will be difficult to do. It is the only way forward for afghans.

Afghanistan war killings due to many reasons historical,bad intervention by other nations and many other causes . The causes for violence need to be removed,then afghans can move forward.

Afghans under influence of foreign money/foreign drugs trade cartels /weapons big money trade/foreign people and many other factors.

Things will getting better for afghans, if violence,revenge killings and casualties is brought to its lowest levels . The afghan people need to become more wiser/more literate/more honest/more practical for their national improvements. Voices of sanity of afghan wise, need to grow louder to solve afghan woes.

The casualty levels due to violence need to get lower,every year.

Years of wars and civil wars,super power rivalries, bad leaderships and foreign bad policies/interventions in afghanistan has not helped either.

Afghanistan improvements can only come via when all afghan citizens, afghan political factions and afghan taliban factions via peace deals for the mutual practical good of their homeland and their citizens.

Poverty is a big cause of woes in afghanistan. More afghan citizens need to work for money in other richer nations to reduce poverty/progress woes . Foreign afghan worker remittance can bring more consumerism/cars for afghan society trade improvements.
