What has he done with Iraq and Afghanistan? Read the news, Atamantsch. He is trying to pull out of Iraq, trying to correct the mistakes made by Bush. In Afghanistan he is trying to protect the civilians with new 'rules of engagement'. These new rules put the American soldiers in far greater danger than before and they are paying with their lives for that. The previous rules were safer for the soldiers but many civilians were being killed. Now, unfortunately, more soldiers are being killed but far fewer civilians. Americans, and Canadians, face more danger now but, hopefully, the civilians will become stronger because of this. I should also say that the Taliban is using the strategy against the Allied soldiers. They are putting civilians between them and the soldiers, knowing that the soldiers can`t do anything about it because of the new rules. This just illustrates what cowards the Taliban are. It`s interesting that in these two Muslim countries that no other Muslim nation or group has stepped up to help out. Canada, the US, Britain and other countries have joined in, and I`m sure a few are Muslim, but I don`t see a united front trying to beat the Taliban. The Taliban has no qualms about killing innocent people and then telling the world that they are fighting for an Islamic state. Why don`t real, true blue Muslims join the battle against them. The Taliban is ruining the image of Islam all over the world but no Muslims are fighting this. Why is that? Are they depending on the US to do the work for them? But many Muslims hate the United States, too. What's the story here? Is it fear? I see a lot of posts saying that Obama isn't the right choice but I don't see any alternatives. To me, this says that he is the right choice. I am not really thinking one way or the other but it seems that no one else can offer any alternatives.
