From Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty:
Local Afghans Protest U.S. Special Forces
March 16, 2013
Several hundred residents of Afghanistan’s volatile Wardak Province are marching on the Afghan parliament building in Kabul to protest the presence of U.S. Special Forces in their area.
Police said between 200 and 500 demonstrators have gathered in the Afghan capital, chanting anti-American slogans and demanding the release of nine local citizens they say were detained by U.S. forces.
“We have gathered here to protest against the [U.S.] Special Forces in Maidan, Wardak, because they enter people’s houses and torture innocent people, they have also detained 10 people and it is not clear what will happen to them,” one protester told Reuters.
U.S. officials say only four the nine missing men were arrested in joint U.S.-Afghan raids.
Afghan President Hamid Karzai last month asked all U.S. Special Forces to leave Wardak, accusing them of murders and disappearances.

I often wonder why the US and the UK hang about these countries. We try and install OUR ways onto people who hate our ways. We should get out and leave these people alone. I am talking of many countries, we shouldn’t be there. I guess we all have opinions on this, but what good does occupation do? For me it serves to create more hate, like in this article
Good share/blog

Hi, most people in the USA, Britain etc. oppose the war in Afghanistan, like you. But unfortunately governments ignore that.

The picture of the American and Iranian athletes at the last Olympics says it all for me.
People don’t want war, your spot on.
These people running the show have agendas and we suffer.
I agree. and we read from the same page.

Yeah..
Also when the big bad weather hit the USA recently, Iran offered to help!! How many signs of peace can they send.
Some will say Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said “Israel should be wiped off the map” He was wrong. But USA/UK Leaders have similar rhetoric with this “Axis of Evil” they invented (Maybe)
I like your debating ways. I hope we can debate some more. Love a debate so I do 🙂
