Get your facts straight. The USSR was occupying Afghanistan. The NATO forces are there to liberate it.
Big difference.
When your daughter cant go to school, I'm pretty sure you'd be happy to see a friendly soldier willing to lay down his life to protect and liberate a country he doesnt even belong to.
NATO is doing the people of Afghanistan a favour.
And yes, they are building schools and training local teachers.
Guerrilla warfare in addition to the rules of engagement prevent allied forces from simply wiping out the Taliban.
