The Administration announced that 7000 troops will be coming home from Afghanistan in weeks. During the 17 year war, thousands have died in the war.
We are out of the unpopular war. The media world-wide reacted in measured manner. Are they afraid of this news boosting up the domestic oppositions against the war?
The Afghanistan may have abundant natural resources such as rare metals, while the cost of the war is always the problem. There is this concerns of 'privatizing' the war. If the mercenary groups fighting for other reasons than protecting the nation, would they care about civilian casualties?
