Eight years since the invasion of Afghanistan, the American aggression against the people and their belief not only continues but has intensified. On 1st December 2009, Obama outlined the new strategy in an attempt to turn the tables in this lost crusade. Announcing a troop surge of 30,000 American soldiers and further contributions from other nations, the Obama administration seeks to avoid being part of a long list of nations who were defeated by the Afghan people. More recently, the Western powers gathered for a conference in London last month, together with their agent Muslim rulers, to seek a way forward from an unenviable situation.
