With the closing of the chapter of the US occupation of Iraq, focus shifts to Afghanistan. Obama wants a troop surge to fight the "good war" in Afghanistan. The war against the Taliban will be hard fought as the Taliban will continue to fight until the USA repeals its arm of control from the Middle East.
Obama does not have a total Afghanistan plan, he has advisers with conflicting beliefs and we will just have to wait and see which plans and ideas win in this issue. This would seem scary for a lot of people, they may want to see definite plans for them to agree or disagree with. But, Obama is practicing an old type of American politics. Obama is inviting debate, consideration, dissent, and as acting as the President he will choose which plan is most suitable. The question then, is: do you trust his judgment?
The UN wants to ensure that foreign troops in Afghanistan will treat the Afghan citizens with more respect and care. In the past, foreign soldiers have failed to do so, causing many civilian causalities. The UN is also calling for the Afghan people to take charge in visioning their own future.
