    Sooner or later militants will find there are more people that want peace and benefit from peace than there are not. There are more people that love their families than love war.. sooner or later all the militants will die and peace will return

    Militant Means Afghanistan civilians. How do they tell the difrence between the militants and civilians. I wonder how many of these militants where women and children. Do the evil doers have tatoo’s on there head informing them of there extremism. No better than Nazi’s, where back home they heard the same bullshit about the french resistance or of the romans dureing there many occupations. stop the lie just kill them all th=ake there resources and leave the northern aliance to do what they do best....grow opium poppies and keep the remaining people in total fear.
