hundreds of thousands of innocent Afghans’ lives lost, millions of their women and children displaced.

Should their blood be any less than the American soldiers; who are only doing what they are commended to do?

You should also know that it was the American government that created the Mujahedeen in the first place to fight the Russian; The Mujahedeen were the group which the Taliban and later Al-qaeda have stemmed from.

Proof: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Qaeda

We created the enemy and now we punish the poor people of Afghanistan with bombs, planes and hundreds of thousands of military personal.

Ask yourself… Did the people of Afghanistan ask for all this?

Be just… Want for others as you want for yourself.

If there’s no Justice in the world, there never will be peace.

Peace.

I have to admit that I agree with your proceeding point; What the Afghans need is help in improving their lives, their schools, their hospitals.
