"CHILDREN OF CONFLICT"--AFGHAN CHILDREN SUFFER POVERTY, MISERY AND ENDLESS WAR (WARNING: VERY GRAPHIC VIDEO)


The children of Afghanistan have grown up knowing only about war. The older Afghan citizens survived the British and Russian invasions of Afghanistan, and now the young children of Afghanistan know only war at the hands of U.S. forces and the coalition troops fighting in Afghanistan. This video can be very hard for some people to watch, but if you are to know about the war the United States is engaged in over in Afghanistan it is important to watch this video to learn what we are doing to the young
children of Afghanistan. I urge everyone to watch this video and then write President Obama and ask him what the mission is in Afghanistan and how long does he expect U.S. troops will be deployed to Afghanistan. We are not in Afghanistan to set up a new form of government. In fact, it is not clear why we are in Afghanistan at all. The original plan was to capture or kill Usama bin Laden, but nearly eight years later that goal has been shelved with no real reason for American troops to be fighting the Taliban in Afghanistan.

It is so wrong for Afghan children to have to endure the lives they live. Children here are so spoiled. By that I mean they have so much, yet they have so little really. They don't realize how poor some other children are. We need to stop these wars. The sick people who start them need to be punished and kept from ever hurting another defenseless child. I don't know what the answers are but this sure isn't it!

Jeanne: Thanks for your comment. It just doesn't make any sense for us to be fighting in Afghanistan. I feel so sorry for these children and the rest of the people of Afghanistan. They didn't ask for this.

Cork, I read somewhere that

bin Ladin was once a CIA man, aka Tim Osman. Wouldn't surprise me. Too many things JUST DON'T ADD UP.
