An undignified retreat as the money as finally run, more soldiers killed than people in 911. Is Afghanistan a stable peaceful democracy....????

No......

[lostalex]

Maybe it's just a trick to get them all in the same place, then the drones come in.

As usual, it will take a company of millions of folks wanting democracy to be democratic, not one nation, or even a few allied nations pushing it on them. But, this is something.

No......

Undignified retreat? Did you imagine that the plan was to stay there forever? And I don't see an attempt at peace talks as undignified in the least.

You of all people cannot be very happy with this situation !!!!

To sacrifice so much, to spill so much blood and destroy so many people's lives (on both sides) in an effort to defeat the Taliban and bring a safe stable Govt to Afghanistan, to end up 12 years later in a bloody stalemate, a quagmire is not dignified.

It smacks of defeat and realisation that only a political process can solve the problems of this Country.

So 12 years of War and Bloodshed what's that all been for...?????

The UK and US have been working equally hard on the war on terror, as a force. There have been very bad losses, Hulk, on all sides. What is your next step, as the Hulk? You could, most likely, contain a small yield nuke(when it hits 00:00) in your green underbelly, or, perhaps take one or two in the head, as if. ;)

What is Arista's solution to the Taliban, or the secret **** that wants to kill you in your home because you have running water, electricity, access to Hulk food(right down the road), and a computer, while they don't?

No Exit the Nation

That Taliban killers are not in my Home or Shops
or Work.

I would rather people were negotiating than fighting. And your comment that I, of all people, can't be happy with this demonstrates how little you know. I would rather the troops went home and people tried to find a solution by negotiating, rather than more soldiers dead and more widows left behind. And to suggest our soldiers died for nothing is actually insulting to me.

[Nedusa]

No insult intended but I'm scratching my head here wondering what all those lost lives have actually achieved.......I guess only time will tell.

It definitely wasn't a mistake to invade Afghanistan, 9/11 was an act of war, and it was perpetrated from Afghanistan. it was a huge mistake to stay and try to help them though. We should have bombed them back to the stone age after 9/11 (and frankly it wouldn't take many bombs to do that because the middle east isn't much more evolved than the stone age to begin with) and left. The mistake was sticking around and spending billions of dollars on reconstruction and sacrificing thousands of American lives and thinking that we could help them start acting like a civilized country.

We thought it could be like Japan after Pearl Harbor. We get attacked, we fight back, we win, and then we could help them get back on their feet, just like we did with Japan and Germany after ww2. The difference of course is that Japan and Germany were both civilized sophisticated countries before the war. Afghanistan has never been a civilized or sophisticated country.
