It does appear that NATO is not going to pull out from Afghanistan or Iraq, irrespective of what new US admin is intending to do in Mideast.

NATO has its own covert agenda, they want to take more advantage of the two war devastated nations. Does anyone like that?

The main reason which is being a barrier for the stability and peace of Afghanistan is Taliban. Whereas the world is aware that the terrorism is funded and supported by Pakistan. Which has reached to a level of mass destruction and disturbance in Afghanistan. The main thing Afghanistan should focus on is how to be a peace nation and the stability, And it must lie within the hands of Afghanistan and not Pakistan.

Indeed. But some might say that the bombing of civilians and hospitals by the US is also terrorism.

It would never occur to the suspicious mind like yours that there are those among the NATO powers who remember what happened when the west abandoned Afghanistan after the Soviet withdrawal. There probably would not have been a 9-11 and subsequent NATO invasion of Afghanistan if the US and NATO had remained engaged in Afghanistan in the 1990s and kept the warlords there from the intramural warfare that gave the Taliban their chance to seize power. Same thing now in Iraq. Abandoning Iraq now only helps Iran and does nothing for the majority of the Iraqi people. Unless you want some Islamic caliphates sending terrorists to your city because you and yours are "infidels" who must be killed.

Do you understand that Doctors Without Borders hospital in Afghanistan had been taken over by Taliban and AQ forces and was being used as a command post. They thought they were being clever by taking over a hospital, the US would not attack.
