afghan war: a hopeless battle

Afghan War a hopeless battle
Most Americans are now recognizing the fact that the war in Afghanistan is at a stale mate. With the
resurgence of the Taliban forces, and opposition led be the American People, the Government of the
United States has surely lost its support for the war.
According to National Security Analyst John Bergen, the American public has discovered the corruption
of the afghan government, its world-class drug trade, and a resurgence of Taliban forces. As if the situation
could not get even worse,the steady rising of finicial backing for the war has created some concerns among
Americans. As many Americans began to wonderabout the strength of the nation’s financial resources, the
nation deficit continues to climb.
In this effort to win the war on terror, america has lost its focus. Like we drained the resources of the
British during the War for Independence by intiating gurrella warfare upon the enemy, so is the same
process being used against usuntil we can notice its effect.After years of searching of Osama bin Laden
and prominent taliban forces, the United States has generated ver little progress. The progress include the
detention of suspected terroist held at guantanamo for information on Bin Laden, who has never been found
to this day.
The resurgence of these taliban rebels are greatly due to the fact that America's focus is completely lost.
By that I mean that The country's focus is devided among the the afghan drug-trade and government corruption
which allows the taliban forces to regroup as a stronger terror organization.
many of our citizens here in the United States want to know when exactly the so-called war on terror will be over.
Some see it as another Iraq war and Bin Laden as Obama's trophy just like Saddam huessin was former President George Bush's.
on can infer that one of the main reasons that the war on terror is still going on is because our government- especially the
neo-conservative- want to give an assurance of peace and protection from the evil forces of terroism. That ideology has become
a very strong and effective propaganda that has enabled the war on terror to go on.
As we know it, the united states will continue to occupy afghanistann and the pakistani border in search of Bin laden and his
opposition forces probably until theyare found.
