Quote Of The Moment #0045
The majority of Afghanis see the U.S. government as the main source that channeled money and arms to the Islamic fundamentalists who have since then laid everything to ruin and committed heinous crimes against women and men. The U.S. government and Pakistan were the only forces behind the creation of the Taliban. At present, Afghanis know very well that the U.S. aid assistances are serving its long term strategy in Afghanistan.
Why have the Afghanis not risen against the U.S. forces as they did against the Soviets? The answer is simple: Afghanis have been crushed by 25 years of war and are now controlled by very powerful criminal parties. So they welcome anyone that could guarantee their existence. In the present situation, the Afghanis know that the presence of the U.S. troops can stop another civil war in Afghanistan and if the leave even for a day, the warlords will again start a reign of terror and repeat the dark days of 1992-96 when they were in power.
