We should first ask ourselves who are we at war with is it the Afghanistan the nation or bunch of radical groups? According to US these radical groups like the Taliban and Al-Qaeda have left to neighboring countries like Pakistan, Iraq and operate out of war-torn nations like Somalia. There is no “Great Taliban” presence in the region. The United States need to realize that there dealing with a criminal organization and not a nation. Occupying predominantly Muslim nations is not going to make the US any safer and its costs way too much. It actually gives these groups more motivation and more followers. The people of Afghanistan see the United States as an occupier due to this EXTENSIVE WAR. They completed their mission successfully by dismantling the Taliban, a terrorist organization that deceived its way to power through religion. Now the Taliban has become Pakistan’s Problem much of their weapons supporters and operations come from within that country. The United States has had the worst foreign policy in the last decade we have been deceived by our leaders in many issues like Iraq so why expect different from Afghanistan.
The people of Afghanistan hated the Taliban and its oppressive rule. However the damage done to the nation and its people by both sides the US and the Taliban has left the people of Afghanistan with no one to trust and this is what terrorist originations take advantage of. The united states should have left a long time ago. Let me remind you people this is the same group we put into power to fight Russia for taking over there nation. If they fought with Russia till they won (DUE TO OUR HELP) what makes you think they want to stop fighting with us until we leave. I think the United States should have left a long time ago as soon as the Taliban government fell apart. Occupying Muslim land increases hatred between the west and the Muslim.

I personally don’t see how wining this war or participating in it is going to make America safer it actually creates more terrorists you cannot fight a thought that is produced and published and practiced by our favorite oil giving country Saudi Arabia . Have you ever asked yourself what pushes these people to kill one another, to take their own life (Islam does not CONDONE) it’s because of a religious creed that was developed in the 18’ century. It’s called Wahhabism Al-Qaeda and the Taliban represent Wahhabism in its purest form – a violent fundamentalist doctrine that rejects all non-Wahhabi Islam and all other religions. This is radical teachings that disgraces Islam and are relatively new. It is forced upon citizens in Saudi Arabia to fallow the extremist creed; the Saudi government has also lavishly financed the propagation of Wahhabism throughout the world. Saudi Arabia’s considered the most secrete land In Islam. This is the reason why young men blow themselves up in the name of Allah. The kid in Somalia killing his people and the kid in Afghanistan killing his people are all reading books and listing to lectures from scholars in the holy land in which they think is right. Let me remind you this is the only form of Islam that condones the killing of other non-Wahhabi Muslims. They deploy sheikhs,scholar’s and books in all nations in order to promote their form of Islam. Creating a mini-violent millitary that is funded by our money.
As Americans we should fight the war on terror in a smart way. And I think Obama has taken that route but he himself is unclear of were the problem lies. Is American greed stopping us from forcing the Saudi Arabia to stop these teachings that have ruined Somalia, Afghanistan, Yemen, Palestine Iraq and much of the Muslim world? Let’s stop wasting our money and most importantly our lives painting ourselves as the enemy to the Muslim world. Yet what we should do is readjust our foreign policy and focus on defending the correct form of Islam. The west and Muslims We have lived amongst each other in peace for a longtime and stop promoting the corrupt kind that kills all people regardless of color, religion and nationality. We should also focus on our selves we have been at war for more than a decade we have lost money and lives that could have bettered this nation’s economy and safety. There is no war to win. There is no country to put back together Afghanistan is nation that is tribally divided and in civil war. It is one of the world’s biggest NARCO-States. Afghanistan has never been the same since the Soviet Invasion I think it’s time for America to focus on America and stop fuelling terror.
