re: #217 Shvaughn

It’s easy for an American to have confidence in American justice. If you were an Afghan, would you have the same confidence in the U.S. justice system after the last 10 years?

It’s 16 Afghans who were blown away by this criminal. It’s their families who are calling for justice. How would you reassure them that the United States justice system will give it to them?

I repeat, the USA is not there to take advantage of this nation, it is there out of the necessity to bring peace and stability to the nation, the region and the entire world.

If the USA is failing to do so, or doing a poor job, it is mostly because of the difficulties inherent in this part of the world.

Afghanistan is not in a position to mete out justice to anyone at this point, nor will it be for some years to come, even under the best of circumstances.
