The new recommendation by Osama Bin Laden is that all Europeans should remove their troops from Afghanistan. This is something the average Afghan citizen does not want. There are too many videos and too many news articles, television shows, media sessions that spell out the fact that Afghanistan does not want any more war, they do not want terrorists either and they do want the US, Canadian, and European troops to stay and support them as they take control of their country back from these oppressors and dictators. The average Afghan citizen will tell you that they want their country to be free, the way it used to be before the Soviet invasion in the late 1970's. These people have only known war, and with the current life expectancy of 45 years, there are not many people in Afghanistan who would have been old enough to know freedom. We need to stay and support the people in Afghanistan who want freedom. They know that so many troops have given their lives to oust the terrorists and they themselves have paid a heavy price as they have never known a time without war and oppression in these last 30 years. Who are we going to listen to? It better be the peacemakers. The people who want a life without fear and hostility, death and poverty. We have to close our ears to people who do not wish for a better world, and open our hearts to those that do.
