Forget about all the women in Burkas. That is their culture and their religion as soon as our tanks are out of there, the men will impose their tyranny again. Eventually the seeds sown by USA will germinate and flourish and the women will take care of themselves. Sad that it will take a long time but that is the way in very rural areas worldwide. Forget about the Afghan people. We have one misguided person in Florida who burns a Koran and the Afghans kill eight people in reprisal. Noteworthy is that the Florida burning didn’t inflame hatred until our supposed ally Karzai raised it as a rally point for muslim bigots. Forget about the Taliban. They are a political party of muslim zealots who want Sharia law in Pakistan ( nuclear power) and Afghanistan. Hey, if the people are going to allow themselves to be beheaded by a bunch of overly zealot Moslem terrorists. What are we supposed to do about it. Really! We are thousands of miles and a thousand years away from them. You know, all the things that our USA government is doing there used to be handed by Christian missionaries who brought food, medicine, education and Western progress to benighted rural area’s of the world. The correction of Afghan cultural and religious issues is not a USA government or even a USA people problem. It is their problem. Stop the war. Stop the killing, bombing and aggression. Bring our troops home now and spend the 60 billion dollar war budget here. Hey, just give every American a percentage tax break for every billion dollars saved by not fighting a losing battle in Afghanistan. Obama is wrong to continue and to escalate the war there. We need to get out.
