So the coalition forces have been stupid enough to kill another bunch of civilians yesterday in Afghanistan. At the same time, Americans are also taking a lot of causalities on their side and not counting the numerous suicide bombings and killings happening left, right and centre in Afghanistan. As a father of young boys, I find it distressing that youngsters are paying a terrible price for stupid wars started by retards (attached is a picture of yesterdays causalities in Afghanistan).
Another touching story is that of 21 year old lance corporal Joshua Bernard. Read more on the link below.

Am not sure as to when Americans are going to learn that to succeed in Afghanistan, they need to win the hearts and minds of the people. Force the Afghan government to end corruption so the common man benefits, try to find an alternative leader to the shady President Karzai who was found fiddling the recent election process, have a zero tolerance policy with Pakistan government in dealing with Taleban, there must be a million aid agency and their cronies in Afghanistan - they eat a hell lot of aid money so cut them to size, have a proactive approach in educating and developing the skill sets of Afghanis so eventually they can build their country on their own (and not the foreign contractors).
All the mistakes that we have identified during war and peace seem to be repeating again in Afghanistan. What a waste!
