Thank You for your help to the brave people of Afghanistan.
 

How to say "thank you for your help" in Arabic

I do hope that Afghanistan can move more towards a country with a rule of law rather than one based on a small number of people's interpretations of various religious texts.

I had a close friend at the U of Denver who was from the University of Mosul in Iraq. He worked in their library but got caught up in the religious based zealotry related to the Iran-Iraq war.

The library there was gutted by ISIS a few years ago. Bringing Books Back to Mosul University Library - Al-Fanar Media

Hopefully 20 years of some freedoms under U.S protection and the
free flow of information now days will help enlighten people in that part of the world. There is just so much ignorance in the world, one can only hope peace will reign someday. There's not much joy in the alternative.

It will never happen, its not a Nation in the true sense of the word. Its a country of tribes and thats all it will ever be.

If you want this thread to continue, stop the political comments.

Give credit where the credit is due.
 

No, the OP heading should read:
"Thank you to the people of the U.S. of America" for trying to help and civilize people still stuck in the 7th century.

The Abraham Accords brought peace and stability to a warring a part of the Middle East namely the UAE and Israel. So diplomacy can succeed. But Afghanistan had a corrupt central government and we were mislead by the military on progress toward a unified government. Could the country have been partitioned as North and South Korea were with an honest leadership? This part of the world gave us our number system as well as many excellent scientists and mathematicians.

True that. The only way it will ever be 'one nation' is, if one of the tribes gains extraordinary military might. So, in an 'unintended consequences' sorta way, we may actually be the factor that accomplishes that. You just can't make this stuff up.

There are a lot of different "tribes" in Afghanistan.

Dream on, this country has been occupied by multiple invading forces over the decades always with the same result. These are tribal people who have been arguing and fighting for centuries. The only way you could ever change this country is to occupy it for a hundred or more years through multiple generations of youth and even then I’m not sure it would change.

I praise the brave Afghan citizens who have fought against the Taliban and Al Qaeda. I don't have the same respect for those who deny women the right to work and attend schools.

I hope the US has vetted refugees to ensure that they support values compatible with the freedoms we enjoy as Americans.

You are correct! There is an amazing amount of ignorance here, also.

But they didn’t fight, after 20 yrs of being propped up by America, the Afghanistan army 700,000 folded in three weeks! Many of their leaders fled or moved to Europe or America.
Not enough Afghans wanted freedom enough to fight for it! Very sad! We’re we being fooled by politicians for 20 yrs that the Afghans really wanted freedom enough to fight for it! There are no winners just losers

It's a sad state of affairs over there. This will never end in our lifetime.

Afghan fighters fought because they were getting good pay from the US Government, Period!
Once they knew the United States was pulling out and their Afghanistan leader ran away like a chicken, they quit because they knew no pay was coming.
