  Jul 27 2011: Thanks for your comment,
  
  I would like to ask you that, who were the creators of this terror network?
  
  Please take a look at the following pictures, they are the pictures of Afghanistan during the 1970s and comparing it with now. We had a relative democracy, freedom and peace at that time. But now there is nothing left due to this 40 years war.

  So 40 years back when the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan, US created this terror network to defeat the Soviets in Afghanistan and it succeeded. But it actually caused this prolonged war even after the defeat of Soviet Union which is going on till now. And it is gone far beyond the borders of Afghanistan and has become an threat to global peace. US created this terror network and is responsible of millions of Afghan lives during this 40 years of war.
  
  We lost our peace, our homes and our families due to this CIA invented terror networks. We lost everything. Would you still say that, US has no responsibility for all this?

  Jul 27 2011: Thanks for your words,
  
  As an Afghan, I can realized this that my people today likes the invaders of Soviet Union much more than the Mujahideens. At the same time I confess that, It might not had any good consequences if Soviet Union would have made their way to the Indian Ocean.
  
  I could definitely tell that, these Mujahideen were composed of bad peoples, doing anything for money, and killed much more Afghans then Soviet Union. The Mujahideen, created by US to defeat Soviet Union, fought for years even after the defeat of Soviet Union and destroyed everything made to the date.
  
  I would like US to end what they started before they go back to their country. We want our country of 1970s back.

  Jul 27 2011: Thanks,
  
  The terrorist network that US created to defeat the Soviet Union in Afghanistan, has now gone much far beyond its borders and limits. It is now an international threat and seemingly not with a centralized leadership. It is not limited now to the borders of Afghanistan. US should target the funding sources of this network and even stop supporting them (Pakistan).
  
  The creator of this network knows much better how to eliminate this network.

  A reply on Talk: Rory Stewart: Time to end the war in Afghanistan

  Jul 27 2011: First thanks Mr. Andrew for your comment,
  
  I am afraid there has been a misunderstanding, If I am not wrong,
  You are totally right, before the invasion of US (better say fall of Taliban regime) women were stoned, even people were being killed for seeing a television or running a kite.
  
  The peace I mentioned before in my comment, was much long before the tyrant Taliban regime. What I wanted to say that, US before his invasion in Afghanistan, invented this terrorism in Afghanistan. They formed the Taliban, whom they are trying to eliminate now. They formed the Taliban who stoned the women and killed the people for running a kite.
  
  Actually my intention was Afghanistan of 1970s.
  
  At last, I would like you to see once the picture (following link) comparing Afghanistan in 1970 and now. Or just google "Kabul, 1970 and now".

  A comment on Talk: Rory Stewart: Time to end the war in Afghanistan

  Jul 26 2011: Everyone is coming up with the question "Why are we (USA and International Community) still in Afghanistan"?
  
  But as an Afghan I would like to ask:
  
  Who are Taliban and Al-Qeada?
  Who made them?
  Who created and supported the Mujaheddin during the invasion of Soviet Union in Afghanistan?
  Who made our country, our home a war-zone?
  Who left Osama Bin Laden escape easily from Tora Bora?
  Who .......
  
  Everyone is talking about the lifes of 1000+ US soldiers, but no one asks about lifes of millions of Afghans killed during this prolonged 40 years of war; no one asks about the 4+ millions of Afghans became refugees; no one asks about the millions of people losing their family member. Who were responsible for this war? Who was responsible for their lives?
  
  That is definately USA.
  
  USA formed this terrorist group in the fear of Soviet Union and turned our homeland into ashes of fire. It was USA that for left Osama Bin Laden escape from Tora Bora on 2001.
  
  Isn't it like USA have to fix up the mess they have done in Afghanistan?
  
  Regarding the 130 billion dollars assistance to Afghanitan; more around 90% percent has been spent for military purposes and war, not for development projects. It is just creating a new bussiness zone for their markets.
  
  Sorry for being so rough, but I would like to request USA give us back the peace we had once alongwith our families. Just finish up the mess you have done there.
