		<description>We need to build schools, as the CAI has been doing. Only through education, particularly of girls, can we achieve peace in Afghanistan. No more bombs, just bricks and blocks, books and teachers.</description>

		<description>Most people in Afghanistan like anywhere else but more than anywhere else want peace. Some are so tired of decades of war that they are ready to trade some freedom for it.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;It&#039;s not as much the US they want out as troublemakers in general. And the US have brought a lot of trouble along with some peace.</description>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Obama knows how to deal with the Afghanistan situation.</p>
<p>BARACK OBAMA IS AN EXCELLENT PRESIDENT!</p>
<p>Obama is a racial-minority individual and does not like racism:</p>
<p>I know it may be hard to believe.</p>
<p>However, it is absolutely true that Ronald Wilson Reagan committed horrible, racist, hate crimes during his presidency.</p>
<p>A lot of people know about Reagan&#39;s infamy.</p>
<p>And a lot of people will know about Reagan&#39;s infamy&#8211;even until the end of human existence: they&#39;ll find out.</p>
<p>Numbers 32:23: &#8220;Be sure your sins will find you out.&#8221; </p>

		<description>I was in Afghanistan in February 2008 as a Guantanamo habeas lawyer.  Robert&#039;s clip is very illustrative and not an exaggeration.</description>

		<description>Going to Afghanistan is a very honorable and brave thing to do in this time of unrest. this country seems to be starting off on a new foot. people who can be trusted are hard to find. without interfering with the country&#039;s people i think we should stay out of the country&#039;s affairs. we got into this war under an oil hungry president now we are forced to deal with his mistakes. Afghanistan is unstable and there are sure to be more problems. please be safe in your travels and maybe you can open the eyes of the American public to the rest of the worlds problems and maybe we can think about having peace with other nations. improving the lives of the people in need is what our country should be focused on. it is not our country to rule or dictate. we should not be imposing democracy or any government support. we should be supporting a system that is eliminating violence so the country is safe. just because we think democracy is right they might not think the same. its not our place to push our beliefs but only to help and assist. we need to help the people get their country back.</description>

		<description>I would like to know if anyone in the administration has any thoughts about finding someone among the Taliban with whom to TALK about finding a peaceful compromise. After all, what we want  (I hope) is simply to not be victimized by them or any of their guests.</description>

		<description>USD together with opium is a big problem in Afghanistan, Afghanistan is a country now, that there are all kind of mafias present.&lt;br&gt;The instaled and support people are dealing with opium and they are busy with robbing of the money of supported countries, they enjoy not only the chaos and anarchy in country, they are supporting such criminal activities to continue their opium deal and robbing. They are cooperating with Taliban for keeping chaos and anarchy. &lt;br&gt;The important question will be to ask by common people, do they accept the group of Mr. Khalilzad? Do they accept the so call former Mujahidin leader and their commander to be on the power?&lt;br&gt;Do they accept to come Taliban back on the power?&lt;br&gt;Do they want to be replace Hanifi through Wahabism in Afghanistan?&lt;br&gt;The question will be, how the common people are thinking about peace and how it  can be possible to bring it into country?&lt;br&gt;Further question will be, will be carried out the coming election in honest way?&lt;br&gt;What should do Mr. Obama to get trust the common peopl on present of USA military in Afghanistan?&lt;br&gt;There are lot of questions, but I am sure, Mr. Greenwal will organize his questionairies in a proper way!</description>
