France has declared that they will send several hundred troops to Afghanistan to support various missions. The Taliban have voiced their objection to the deployment of course claiming the French have broken a deal. An article covers the situation:
"The Taliban's leadership council has accused French President Nicolas Sarkozy of breaking a campaign promise by pledging this week to send 700 more French troops to Afghanistan.In a statement Saturday, the Taliban said it freed two kidnapped French nationals based on Mr. Sarkozy's earlier promise to withdraw French troops from Afghanistan."First off I wonder of course why France would be listening to the Taliban when they are in fact the enemy. The international community cannot step down when we face an enemy like this. There are always going to be prisoners of war and that is a difficult aspect of life but if we can't work together as a international team what do we hope to accomplish. I think this has been a good development by the French to put themselves back into the fight. The world needs to learn to work as a global team and finish the battles that they become involved in. Terrorism is in a fact something the world must work to defeat and the international community has recognized that Afghanistan is a critical location that must be dealt with. I think the global community should learn from these wars so that in the future we can work as a fully integrated international group. It's time that the world began to look at the community they live in and belong to.
