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.
