Blog 6 - Afghanistan accuses US of killing woman, 7 children in airstrike

Summary:

This article discussed an interaction between Afghanistan and the United States. I chose this article, because I don't hear too much about broken agreements between two countries. On Tuesday night, seven children and one adult was killed by an airstrike by the United States. This was a big deal because of the fact that Afghanistan and the US had a mutual agreement that things like this wouldn't happen. Because of this event that took place, Afghanistan is very disapproving of the US and their acts. This isn't the first event where the US has betrayed Afghanistan and the agreements that were made between the two of them. Just last year a sergeant was sentenced to life in prison for killing sixteen Afghan civilians in their homes. Afghanistan is now in a very awkward place, because of the decisions the United States made.

Analysis:

Because of these choices, Afghanistan is in a state where they have to increase the protection around the country. I am more than sure that these strings of events are making Afghan civilians considering even staying there. I say that for the reason that they never know when things like this will happen. The part that has Afghanistan baffled is that these events are coming from the United States, a country where agreements and mutual decisions had been made with. This is definitely a social problem. The US is threatening the lives of many civilians, it is social in origin, and it harms the society in the sense that it threatens what we believe a society should be. The only way that Afghanistan can move forward from this is to stop ties with the United States and build up their country alone or either form alliances with other countries.
