In Afghanistan our troops' occupation is welcomed. Yet the Taliban is growing in strength there. We have already done so much to stop terrorism there. Will it be fruitful or will the Taliban return to take control?
In Iraq, we messed up by invading --IMHO-- what should we be doing to retain order there? because order is what is missing, it's what's causing the terrorism.

I'm currently in Afghanistan and life is already better in Afghanistan. Its just that more of the Taliban's atrocities are making the media. You were just never hearing about it. Its a media thing. We have built roads by the 100s of miles. Schools (about 192 the last count), given over 1,000,000 vacinations. (people and animals) Treated over 20,000 injuried children. The media doesn't publish any of th is for some reason. but its there.
For references: look up the atrocites in Chechnya. Once you start looking there are thousands of them but the media doesn't cover them, so, to the world they aren't there.

I'm not sure there is anything we can do right now. Until the local populace gets so fed up with the fear and killing I'm afraid nothing will improve. At some point there will be another opportunity to stabilize things. But until then, the best we can do is to help those who really want our help...and pray for our men and women that are there.

The best we can hope for is that Bush will reconsider his policy in Afghanistan as well as Iraq.

our occupation in afgan isnt about liberating the people or anything about that. its about us hunting down a 7 foot pole hiding in a cave some ehere.
