KABUL, Afghanistan – A newly recruited Afghan village policeman opened fire on his American allies on Friday, killing two U.S. service members minutes after they gave him a new weapon as a present. It was the latest in a disturbing string of attacks by Afghan security forces on the international troops training them. Later Friday, another Afghan in uniform turned his gun on foreign troops in another part of the country, but no one was killed in the second attack, a spokesman for the NATO-led coalition force said.

And yet we continue to think that we should be there to "educate" these poor tribesmen. No one has ever been able to do that so why do we think we will be able to. Bring the troops home!

I want to stay there, but, as I see more and more of this, I just want to pack up and leave. The big thing stopping me from that is the thought of the Afghan schoolgirls who will fall under the Taliban again.

As much as some would like, we can't impose our values on the rest of the world and many countries don't want democracy as we know it anyway. I say let them go back to their old ways and live in the stone age. |

Well, we went in to destroy the AQ, which we have done. But the Dubya Doctrine seems to imply a desire to make the world safe for democracy, as witnessed the invasion of Iraq. But I don't know if we can do that in Afghanistan, so maybe we should leave.
