| Karzai blames US for Afghan violence |
| 2010-09-29 |
[Iran Press TV] Afghanistan's Caped President Hamid Maybe I'll join the TalibanKarzai has criticized the US-led foreign forces for the continual violence that is claiming the lives of civilians in the war-torn country. Karzai said Afghans are caught up in between the goals of Western powers and Islamic snuffies backed by other countries and called on his people to unite for the sake of peace. "Therefore come to your senses ... you are witnessing what is happening on our soil and only through our efforts can our homeland be ours," he said during a speech in Kabul. Karzai says he is afraid of seeing the next generation, including his son Mirwais, flee the country and lose their Afghan identity. "I do not want Mirwais, my son, to be a foreigner, I do not want this. I want Mirwais to be Afghan." Karzai comments come as thousands of civilians have lost their lives either in US-led airstrikes or Taliban operations in different parts of the war-ravaged country over the past years. The US and its allies have more than 150,000 troops stationed in Afghanistan. American and NATO forces have failed to bring peace to the violence-wracked country. The loss of civilian lives at the hand of foreign forces has led to a dramatic increase in anti-American sentiments in Afghanistan. |

| #2 Yes, and we blame Afghans for harboring people who did this and the Taliban they continue to aid and support. Had they turned over OBL when asked, none of the current events would be transpiring. Nuff said. |

| #1 No problem. We just pull out (like Obama wants to). Then we will again hear cries about how the Taliban are enforcing their version of Sharia, executing women for showing a square inch of skin, or just being icky. And executing men for listening to CDs or playing soccer, or whatever the mullahs decide is un-Islamic this week. But at least the |
