Excellent illustration of the shared interest on the part of countries bordering Afghanistan, in lowering the level of violence in that country.

What in blazes is the US doing with a huge military force in Afghanistan, when the countries in the area are far better positioned to deal with the problems of Afghanistan. Stunning arrogance and stupidity on the part of the US which is in any event too easily portrayed as the enemy of Islam because the US encourages Israeli oppression of the Palestinians. Not to mention the huge military force still occupying Iraq even though there clearly is no need for it at this point.
