I find the previous comment rather hateful and reactionary. The US is only trying to provide the people of Afganistan with the peace and freedom that all persons are entitled to. I would ask you to remember how the great nation of France rose up to help the United States 225 years ago, and how the U.S. returned the favor in the 1940's. Without the noble actions of both our countries we would still be under the rule of tyrants and dictators. I hope that Afganistan will soon be able to enjoy the peace and liberty it greatly deserves and I will be able to be proud of the sacrifices my country made to help that happen.
