Afghanistan marks 10 years since war started

We have stayed too long there. It is a time to get hell out.

Agreed...

A decade of destruction.

I predict another decade of senseless violence. But what if the Taliban and/or other extremist groups topple the elected government there? Will Obama refuse to intervene again? Will other countries step up and do something about it?

tenth straight year of rising unemployment, deteriorating economy, and general social unrest in the US. coming to a boil. soon all you fat cat politicains and bankers will get what you deserve. power to the people!

I really hope our american friends will stay there longer and longer....if they withdrawn from Afghanistan now shall losing much face and being stupid for 10 years of contributions with nothing return. In my perspective, their lost is our gain! So stay there and keep staing there with your allies!

just-a-guy, we are already committed to withdraw. It ain't gonna happen.

We dont lose face, we are not an oriental country :) you bet we will stay, we like to keep the back door to a certain country wide open just incase :D

@globalwatcher...No this is not 'withdrawal', this is running away from defeat! Yes, you you guys get used with this and 'face saving' doesnt matter! Since, Korea,Vietnam,Iraq.....a routine business!

India is the big winner in the region. China loses. Afghanistan never really changes.

This has been stupid from the start and the outcome so far was as predictable as a Hollywood movie.

The macro points are Vietnam all over again, except that by year ten some Americans were actually protesting the futility, stupidity and waste.
