Hello Alexander,

 ak>>> All civil wars in Muslim countries start after the US invasions,
 ak>>> inciting or other "help". This happened in Iraq, Libya, Syria that
 ak>>> were prosperous countries before "help".

 LL>> Afghanistan is not a *Muslim* country? Not even Alexander the Great
 LL>> could conguer that land. The Greeks could no more handle Afghans
 LL>> than anybody else. And that was before the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)
 LL>> converted them.

 LL>> The British tried. Three times. Rudyard Kipling wrote stories about
 LL>> his experiences there. The Russians tried. And had the good sense
 LL>> not to go back. The Americans are still trying, but will leave once
 LL>> they tire of the game.

 ak> America still tries to find in Afghanistan something that is absent
 ak> there, fighting the enemies it has borne up itself. A while ago, I joked
 ak> in old-Chinese style, that "It is very difficult to find Bin Laden in
 ak> Afghanistan. Especially if he is not there." ;=) America is still trying
 ak> to find in Afghanistan something that cannot be found there.

Whether it is Afghanistan, Vietnam, Korea, Germany, or any other
place, the people of that land will remain in the same place long
after the occupiers have left.

It is a delusion to think that an occupying force can force a
people to do its will.  No matter how long that occupying force
stays, the people of that land will remain true to itself.  This
has been demonstrated throughout history, both modern and ancient.

 LL>> Last night, US President Donald Trump addressed the nation, telling
 LL>> everybody he is going to send more troops to Afghanistan. Here is
 LL>> my message to him, in response -

 LL>>          It's their country.
 LL>>          They are going to run it.
 LL>>          We have to come home.

 LL>> Afghanistan is America's longest war. 17 years and counting. Only a
 LL>> fool would want to waste more human lives in this endeavor.

 ak> Yes, but actually Trump now, in many aspects, is an impotent president.
 ak> There are too many people capable to overrule his decisions and dictate
 ak> what he must do and what he must not do. It's alarming, that these
 ak> people take information from rumours and conjectures.

His own party has disowned him, as of about three or four weeks ago.
Totally given up on him.  The opposition party is allowing things to
play out, as Trump's worst enemy is himself.  I mean, why get in the
way when your opponent is beating himself up?

Realize he is not a politician.  Just a businessman.   As such,
he knows nothing about politics or policy.  But still, that is no
excuse.  He did ask for the job ...
