grafter: these people were there to help in afghanistan ,what are your thoughts?
Is it about this?
"August 7, 2010 2:44PM Christian Aid Workers Killed in Afghanistan Medical team falsely accused of "preaching Christianity." David Neff Americans this morning woke to news of 10 aid workers murdered in Afghanistan. They were six Americans, one German, one Briton, and two Afghan interpreters working for the International Aid Mission. The Taliban claimed the traveling medical team was “spying for the Americans” and “preaching Christianity.” The International Aid Mission is a Christian NGO that has operated in Afghanistan since 1966. They do not proselytize or discriminate on the basis of religion in delivering medical assistance."

Well if you go around a country known for being the home of some of the most fanatical muslims around, unarmed with no military training, and waving your bible around, I guess you're pretty much asking for it.

chris27292729: " They are at war, a war in which they wish to take power again".- During their 10 years war with the Russians,it was the USA supplied them with arms to fighr the Russians.They were allies then, what did you expect starting a war with them???
How strange. The Taliban did not exist until the Afghan Civil War which was well after the Russians had left.
chris27292729: to welcome you with open arms,as somebody said in another thread, nobody has won a war there since Genghis Khan.-And legitimate power, they will get,inflicting a total defeat to the invaders. The Midget defeating the Goliath.
If nobody has won a war then how on earth did the Taliban take power? And, would not defeating anybody constitute a victory considering that the Taliban themselves, while many are Afghans, many are not.
Have you any doubt???.that USA and their allies will be defeated??? If you leaving without achieving your objectives,capturing Landen,Taliban again in power,Karjay not accepted by his own people,do you regard this victory? I wonder what was called the military academy you gone to.-The Afgan people Taliban fighters or not,they have not yet,but they WILL for sure defeated the USA and their allies.-

Taliban came from Pakistan, it wasn't an Afghan sect but was home grown in Pakistan and set its self up after the Russian were defeated.
Trying to win the hearts and minds of the people using Christian doctors in my mind is the same as sending gun slingers in, its as much a part the current stupid attempt to install external power over the region as dropping bombs.
You cannot change the Karmas of people born in that region like that. But then that sort of thinking is clearly to complicated for sheep to understand.

We certainly don't know but should try. You wish to give up for some reason. What is that reason?

Victory was achieved the moment the Taliban high tailed it out of Tora Bora. The rest is preventative maintenance so we don't have to go back again and, just doing a favor to the Aghan people.
Oh, and Bin Laden was never an official reason for the war rather the Taliban were to stop aiding and abetting terrorists, turn over their leadership and close the camps down. They didn't and, are no longer in power. The Afghan people voted for their representative leadership under threat of death so am sure they accept him.
chris27292729: I wonder what was called the military academy you gone to.
I wonder too as I don't recall ever saying I went to one but rather was a soldier. You know, front towards enemy, charge the hill, that sort of thing.

I can tell from your not even knowing how the Taliban originated and when they came into being and, who and how they were supported that you really don't have a clue of what you are talking about so urge you to maybe do a wiki search or something so you come better armed next time.
The war is not just been prosecuted by violence the grand plan is to win over the hearts and minds of the people, which was attempted in Vietnam. The Afghan president (an Afghani) was imported back into Afghanistan from Portugal imported and propped by Bush.
Never mind what you call them, Taliban,war lords, tribes of Afganistan,etc, the reality is, those people are at war with, USA and their allies, because they don't want you there. And packing up and go,without convincing the Afganis,Why your present there, in my eyes this is a total defeat.
