The war In Afghanistan has claimed two more victims. Two British soldiers, who were attached to the 1st battalion The Royal Welsh Battlegroup, had the duty to clear homemade bombs and make the area district safe for civilians and patrolling troops. Clp Robers and Pte Ratu Silibaravi, both 32 years old, were killed by a Taliban mortar attack. Clp Robers leaves a girlfriend and three children and although they are very sad about this tragic incident, they think of him as a hero and a wonderful person. Both soldiers had served earlier in Afghanistan and Iraq and were well respected by their team. In previous mortar attacks the Taliban has limited success and authorities fear for another launch of the rebels. Since December last year, five British soldiers have been killed in the Afghanistan war. Western leaders prepare for the Nato Chicago conference in May 2012. During this conference, which is hosted by President Obama, western politicians discuss the future military involvements for Afghanistan. The politicians hope to come to an agreement on how much funding the international community will provide for Afghanistan. Britain has already offered to fund an army training academy in Kabul, for at least for years.

I am very sad to hear that again two soldiers were killed in Afghanistan. The war in Afghanistan is a war against terrorism. Terrorism is very frightening and life threatening. Hundreds of people have been killed by terrorist actions and more victims will come. Terrorism is very strong because it is powered and maintained by hatred. Most terrorist attacks we hear from are done by muslim fundamentalists who do not accept the western community. From 1979 till 1989 the Russians fought against the Islamic regime in Afghanistan. Russia saw the Islam as a threat and tried, unsuccessfully, for ten years to conquer the land. The Islam was funded by the VS and Saoudi Arabia and provided money and weapons to fight against the Communist Russians during the cold war. The irony of the current situation in Afghanistan is that the U.S. is fighting against forces they have created themselves in the first place. I really hope that the war between the Islam and the rest of the world will soothe and that everybody will have mutual respect for their ideas and religions.
