Reflection:
On thursday it was announced that more than 1700 talibans have given up arms and joined the reintegration program, a program started by NATO a year ago. British Major General Phil Johns, is the director of the Force Reintegration Cell of the International Security Assistance Force said that a total number 1740 former taliban have joined the reintegration and the peace council is in negotiation with 40 to 45 more groups across the country. This program helps taliban members break from the path of violence, break all ties and live peacely under the Afghan constitution. The Afghan revolt is mostly composed of Taliban men, and the total number is around 25,000 men. The members that have put down their arms usually join the program with their Taliban chief and these are life changing decisions to give up the life of violence, and hatred and start a new peaceful life. The program is financed by the international community coming to a toal of $141 million with $58 million coming from the United States of America, and in 2012 the U.S. plans to contribute $12 billion to build the Afghan army. When asked that if the death of Osama Bin Laden have anything to do with people putting down their arms and they arent sure that his death had that big of an impact on people joining the program.
I believe that the U.S is not building a army for Afghanistan but a U.S. unit in the east. The United States are helping build this country from the bottom up and they wont expect anything ni return? They will come to collect and they will collect big, Afghanistan will turn in to a nation under the United States, U.S will become the mother country of Afghanistan now they are trying to build it from scratch again and turn it into a peaceful country.
