Kill the soldiers, otherwise you can't win. They are invaders my friend, do you how many Afghan civilians these thugs are killing each day? They are also raping young girls and women, which you won't read in western media.
Westerners don't believe in mercy and peaceful coexistance with other nations. They believe in total domination, hence they will only understand the language of power. Once you defeat them you will earn "respect".
You're avoiding one very important question. For thje sake of argument I accept that the Talibans have extreme views of Islam but does that give the americans the right to invade and bomb Afghanistan?
Is not the fear that lies with terrorism apparent among many nations? Is not Pakistan a prime example of a country that is facing home grown insurgency and paying the price with the lives of its citizens? The US mistake was not taking early terrorist threats seriously and for that we paid the price on 9/11. You said the Taliban have extreme views of Islam but does that give the Americans the right to invade and bomb Afghanistan? The US decision to target al-Qaeda and its allies in Afghanistan who openly claimed responsibility for planning and executing the attacks on 9/11 was undertaken in order to prevent further growth of terrorist organizations that who prey on innocent civilians. The main goal in this war on terror is to free Afghanistan from the grip of Taliban; not to invade and bomb Afghanistan, and to ensure the transition of security responsibility to Afghan authorities in accordance with the Afghan government. As it is never easy to bear the loss of fallen soldiers it certainly does not halt our progress in Afghanistan nor does it change our agenda in the region. Not a day goes when our soldiers do not risk their lives in fighting insurgency. Taliban mouthpiece have been consistently spreading unverifiable propaganda regarding our progress in the region and it is unfortunate when readers comments start echoing his accusations that our soldiers rap[e] young girls instead of acknowledging our humanitarian and development efforts in the region. With respect to innocent Afghans being killed and injured in this conflict, independent observers such as the ICRC and UNAMA have repeatedly affirmed what we have been saying: that the vast majority of civilian casualties in Afghanistan are caused by Taliban brutality, either through their indiscriminate bombings, or more ruthless targeting of civilians, intended to keep the Afghan people living in fear.

Our mission is to remove that threat, and the fear many Afghans have of what awaits should the coalition leave prematurely. This is done not merely by fighting taking the fight to the Taliban, but through outreach programs designed to empower the people, and build relationships with them. The Girls Village Outreach Program, which evolved from the successful boys program, is one such effort. Afghan girls would watch boys learn and play and when they were invited to come and play, the girls eagerly joined in the fun and have been forming strong bonds with their American counterparts. Since its inception, the Girls Village Outreach Program has evolved from 17 children to over 135 today. Do you see how the rumors are spread to make you believe otherwise?

CENTCOM | Soldier builds Afghan relations, one girl at a time
You will not hear Taliban mouthpiece provide any explanation for their cruel acts. Did you hear about the 8-year-old Afghan girl wounded when the Taliban attacked Afghan security guards in the south of Ghazni province? Polish medics first delivered medical care, but it soon became necessary to transport the child by helicopter to FOB Ghazni's field hospital to perform surgery. Polish surgeons, assisted by an American anesthesiologist, operated for two-hours. The doctors managed to safely remove the bullet from girls body, the operation was a success and shortly afterward the girl was transported to a provincial hospital in Ghazni City.

Did you know the number of ISAF troops has grown from the initial 5,000 to over 140,000 troops from 48 countries, including all 28 NATO member nations? The essence of the contribution in Afghanistan is that 48 nations are standing together to bring about security and stability in Afghanistan and the international commitment remains strong. Do you see how that contradicts your statement, Westerners don't believe in mercy and peaceful coexistence with other nations?
