This all shows the height of U.S. irresponsibility.<BR/><BR/>"Seven years after terrorists struck at the symbols of American might - the World Trade Centre and Pentagon - and the war against terrorism began, Afghanistan remains in the grip of ever mounting violence. With the violence, that took some 3,800 lives including some 200 foreign troops in the first eight months of 2008, and has steadily been surging by the year, the US plans to induct more troops for combat operations. NATO and Afghan officials say violence overall in eastern Afghanistan has been up by 20% to 30% in the first eight months of the year compared with last year and rose about 50 percent in some areas, if compared with 2007. In the last week of August alone, coalition troops killed more than 220 suspected Taliban militants in southern Afghanistan yet not without collateral damage; several operations by foreign and Afghan forces against the militants have also resulted in over 500 civilian deaths, including 96 casualties in an air raid by the U.S.-led coalition in western Heart late August." <BR/>Hope, the New year may bring some light of peace and properity for the world.<BR/><BR/>Author,<BR/>Ali Liaquat, Pakistan.<BR/>(Research Source: CRSS)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912740994725147558.post-90279744784010253952009-01-02T02:41:00.000-06:002009-01-02T02:41:00.000-06:00Porter,It is always a blessing reading your blog. ...Porter,<BR/>It is always a blessing reading your blog.
