Attacks from the Taliban continue to terrorise Afghanistan a decade after the invasion. With the US withdrawal scheduled for 2014, what hope is there after 10 years of Operation Enduring Freedom?

Operation Enduring Freedom was meant to drive the Taliban out of Afghanistan for good, but recently they've been just as deadly as ever. Their killing of high profile Afghans, like Former President Bahruniddin Rabbani, has rocked the nation and in doing so, shattered both its peace process and its policy of 'talking' with the Taliban. "By killing a leader they have crossed the line", says Governor Mohammad Ata Nur. Rabbani's killing marks a turning point for this battered nation. Talking peace with terrorists has taken the country even closer to the edge. Former Taliban minister Wakil Ahmed Mutta Wakil argues the frustrations of his people are clear. "Major-General Atta, Dr Abdullah and others, they insist on one point, that we have to fight forever. But Afghans do not support this idea. They are tired after 30 years of war".

Afghanistan is a great country. In my opinion (an afghan girls prespective), I think that the Taliban is toooo strict. I am glad that they brought sharia law but they made it tooo strict by making women not go out w/out a man escorting her. In Islam, if a women is certian miles away from home then she should be escorted by man. They also made islam look barbaric.
