Can we just bring our troops home already?
Can we just bring our troops home already?
I agree. That country needs a break. Hopefully there will just be calm.

I'm pretty sure the fighting will still be there once we leave, I just want our men and women out of there.

You're probably right. But it will leave a good impression to the people if we leave and if NATO leaves. The Taliban will have to change as well. They will not be able to use the international forces as a excuse anymore. It's best for everyone.

I'm pretty sure the Taliban/Northern Alliance civil war will restart, even now the Taliban will NOT negociate with the Afghan government in peace talks, only the US. Once we are gone, the fighting will increase ten fold.

No it won't. They will talk trust me. Or Afghanistan should just offer them security jobs. And let them in their military. They need to unite and just function as a country. And we need to leave them alone.

Thats the problem the Afghan government doesn't have enough cash to hire all the Talibs, they can barely pay and equip the force they have, in actuallity WE are the ones paying for it with our tax dollars.

Yeah I know. Lots of it has to do with cash. People need some money. They need it, countries should pitch in.

People don't want to invest in a sinking ship, we have invested billions into Afghanistan and look at it now, it would take decades to make this somewhat right.

We shouldn't invest for that reason. The war needs to end. Hopefully 2014 will be the end. I wish it could be earlier.
