This is the way I see it.
Lets say we dont have any way to win this, let say the taliban keep recruiting and fighting. We still must stay and fight. Why because thne it shows that we will just give up whent he going gets tough. We are their and fighting The Taliban, who were an oprresive government who want to get thier power back.
While the Taliban were in power, they let Bin Laden and his buddies set up camp, training terrorist all across afganistan. That just one fact. Secondly The Taliban gained power after they ran the soviet union out, Their was no vote. Imeditly the taliban began to change things drascticly, all woman had to wear Burkas, and could not go to school. They killed or ran out the Woman who had any power at all, or would speak out. They killed and hunted down people who would teach young girls, or gave them any type of education. Basicly Woman were around for homemaking and left basicly as dumb as a post, and trained to be submissive. TV, RADIO AND MUSIC all banned, this was used to keep the Afagn people normal evryday folks from knowing what was going on in the world so they had nothing to compare their deprived lives to. You look at all the Countries around them, and most were much better off, Afgaistan however, was stunted econmicly and socaily due to the Talibans leadership.
Not only has Nato and ISAF removed the Taliban, they have given people freedom, education and a Vote. We also have secured the area, to stop the Terrorist trainning camps, and we have began dystroying poppy fields, and dope feilds. Whoever the fool who said to support the CIA drug trade is needs a huge slap, the drug trade actully supports the Taliban, giving them funding. We have been getting rid of the poopy fields and dope fields, which in away bites us int he ass, because many druglords have used this to gain welth and power over much of the small villages, and they dont want to lose their power so they team up with the taliban and fight us, by funding their own millitas and the Taliban, to sto us from giving hte government control of the villages they have been running. Thats why their has been a huge rise in violance i think, due to the dystruction of the the drug rings. But in most every other province in Afganistan their is peace and no fighting, now that we are going into the drug strong holds and the areas close to the Pakistani Borders where the Taliban hide from International troops we have been running into alot of resitance. Once we remove the druglords and taliban from these areas thoreticly we will have beaten them, but this is proving much harder because Pakistan is slack in removing the taliban from inside their country and actully grant amesty to them, they even signed a deal to alow them to claim refugee status. Due to this the Taliban have recently been paying Paki men to fight with them and also training in safety.
On the otehr hand this is quite winable but we need to get support from toehr nato Countries and we need to get better at figureing out who the enemy is to protect ourselves from suicide bombings which the magority of our deaths have come from. Becaus ein Combat they cant stand up to us.
Now in regards to the first post of this thread, you better elarn some respect because weather or not you agree with the war, you should support our troops, because they feel they are doing the right thing for you and me, and to say what you have said is a slap in the face to him and his family, and because you beleave one thing and he died beleaving something else doesnt mena he is wrong, and it doesnt mean you are ethier but give him the respect he deserves.
Note:I Myself Have Signed my Papers to Join the Army, and Id hope if I were to die fighting for something I think is a Nobel cause people would still respect me for what I did.
