Hey Sandy:
While Taliban and al-Queda remnants do still exist and are growing in number inside the country, their presence is tiny compared to what it was. The US is currently training a national army for Karzai to use to secure North Central Afghanistan. This involves training tens of thousands of men and will take years to acomplish. Currently the most pressing problem is getting the local warlords to release suitable fighting men from their private militias.
There are many many many problems in Afghanistan, and to think that they would be fixed automatically and quickly is naive. Afghanistan was and is the embodiment of the wild west. With a strong military presence now based in Iraq, the US can directly pressure hostile Afghani elements to make the slow and painful transition to towards (I emphasize towards) modernity (a long way to go).

It's funny to see you get schooled, then bring out the racial insults when you know you've lost an argument.

It's to be viewed this way..
The Red Cross Organozation was viewed as an occupation of Foriegn nationals in Iraq.
By bombing the Org. buildin' they possibly want to stress that they would never tolerate any foriegn bodies in their beloved motherland.
As a matter of fact they were unfortunate victims who were made the scapegoat in the ensuing struggle betn. the Iraqis and the Occupying Forces.
I do not applaud them in any way.. what they did was extremely wrong.. henious.
It's just that we need to look @ things from the perspective of those who suffer and retaliate..

I'm not Trauma, and I'm not going to speak for him, but we didn't aim for innocent civilians in Afghanistan. We didn't bomb the Red Cross building. We are sticking around there and making that place better. What did these fucks do today? Blew up a building full of people helping Iraqi's on purpose and then slithered away into a dark cave. Fuck them.

Didn't aim for innocent civilians? Do you know how many children die in Iraq each year because of what we did/are doing? Do you also know that the U.S. violated international laws with its sanctions, because according to the Geneva Convention no country is allowed to attack another country's civilians in any way. Sanctions do exactly that because the people were harmed not Saddam. Saddam actually gained from them. In the Gulf War we bombed electric facilities, water reservoirs, etc... you think that doesn't kill civilians? Open your fuckin mind up a little

Well there's a bit of truth in that statement.. Many Iraqi deaths go unreported as most of the news the press gets hold of is thru the american millitary press releases. and They naturally will glorify only the American Martrydom raather than some poor Iraqi dying on teh streets..
