Of course they will be terrified; they are an occupying force on a foreign hostile land. Osama Bin Laden is not there anymore, so what are they doing there now? Neo-cons initial argument for that war was to deprive Bin Laden from available training ground for his terrorists. Bin Laden is dead and there no more terrorists in Afghanistan, just poor farmers and drug traffickers, so just pack up and leave, as simple as that. Unless Neo-Cons real intention had been something else? Was it?!? Please someone enlighten me on the subject.

The American people themselves have found that their gov no longer works for them and the troops suicides are a reflection of our spiritual quality. Not our religious quality but our spiritual, meaning the idea of what the U.S.A. was supposed to be. Our "Bill of Rights" is being eroded as our people spiral into a debt in which (not even our debt but the interest on it) has almost surpassed what we even have in our banking system. We feel we cannot trust our gov and it is seemingly obvious that our gov knows this and no longer cares. The system which we were supposed to have control of to secure our independence has begun the final stages to taking our rights away. We as Americans have failed, how would you feel if you were a in our military and realized that the ideas you would be willing to fight and die for were slowly being taken away and you have now become an instrument of their destruction. Its o secret the neo -cons and for that matter any political movement in America which gets the spotlight for that matter have their our agenda and it has nothing to do with world peace or our independence. Its simple money and control and their reach is far beyond what we can imagine.
