Think, what if the USA did not give stinger missiles and such to the afghani rebels, maybe the Soviets might have one. thank god the commies didn’t.

but now, today, we have better technology, we have more of a bigger presence, we are not the only country there.

All i think it needs is patience. and persistence.

And in two years. if this thing is not won by our troops, I will be heading there to help the fight and against the taliban, and others.

The war in Afghanistan can be won, but don’t think it will be easy. I believe a lot of people underestimate the Taliban – a big mistake. The Soviets did and looked what happened to them, they took an old fashioned @rse kicking. Coalition troops are playing away from home and the Taliban have the home advantage. Their knowledge of the ground has to be better than ours. The coalition troops have done very well up to now and the Taliban know this. They have taken heavy losses, that’s why they increased suicide bombings. The governments of the coalition troops don’t want a long drawn out war, as their nations
people would soon get fed up with the steady flow of dead soldiers.
On the other hand, the Taliban have all the time in the world and that’s what they want, a war that lasts for years. It worked with the Soviets.

It’s not all doom and gloom, the coalition troops have a lot going for them. They are professional soldiers, better weapons, air support, helicopters and the list goes on.

But the key is winning hearts and minds. The first step for me would be getting rid of every US Marine.

They want to waste lives and countless billions to wage war. (the contractors make lots and lots of money from them, like Haliburton)

The only thing that the Soviet Union accomplished was the loss of life and billions of their rubles in Afghanistan.

And the US never actually tried to win the Vietnam war, the government was too afraid of Chinese intervention.
The people of Vietnam didn’t want the war, either, which became very obvious.

But Obama is intent on escalating the war. Throwing good money after bad has become the hallmark of the American government in all things.

1) The Taliban use the surroundings so good to hide that the US struggle in destroying there bases with there top of the range missiles

2) The US can’t use its nuclear arms and other mass destruction weapons since its a democratic state, a public outcry would be in order if they did use a weapon of this such.

3) The only decent technology they can use are probes and camaras. Whether the soldiers have pistols or machine guns is irrelevent, as i said before, it isnt hand to hand combat its hit and run.

The US could win this war as the majority of the Population are on there side, However, it could also take a very long time to actually control the country as we see in the news the amount of volunteering suicide bombers and car bombs meaning the Taliban have got support in there cities, whether the Taliban are active or not.

Many people in Afghanistan do not like the Taliban and it’s Islamic Fundamentalism, where by teachers are executed and young girls are denied even basic education.

In terms of the current NATO role in Afghanistan, it is not an objective to conquer the country, but to allow those who live there to choose to live their lives free of the misery of fundamentalism, and to achieve as close to secular democracy as we can, which is why we are sending extra troops to oversee the forthcoming elections in Afghanistan.
