Sending more troops means more killing and destructions.
The decision by the US government to send more troops to Afghanistan is regrettable. Most of the Afghan intellectuals were of the opinion that the New Barak Obama administration will bring changes in the policies taken by its predecessor ,G.W.Bush towards Afghanistan, however, it looks like it happened on the same direction. It means that sending more troops means more destruction of the already destructed country, and more killing of the innocent people and more black bags of the fighting soldiers.
It is estimated that more than 70.000 innocent people have already been killed by the blind bombing of the occupation forces since October 2001.
As it is suggested and proposed time and again by the Afghan intellectuals that , The Obama administration should seek the ways of reconciliation and negotiation with the Opposition Parties present on the ground, think about a provisional government comprised from the independent Afghan intellectuals personalities. Where election should take place under that provisional body with the help of UN or OIC.
Most of the Afghan still hope that the Obama administration , instead of sending more troops, will deeply thank about the withdrawal of its existing troops from the quagmire of Afghanistan which has already digested two big empires of Great Britten and then Soviet Union.
