Making Friends or Enemies?
According to Obama, president of the United States, 30,000 additional troops will be sent to Afghanistan in order to reinforce the military power to fight against Taliban. From September 11, 2001, the United States had never stopped suppressing the power of terrorists, especially the members of Taliban. President Obama gave a speech in West Point on December 1 to re-announce his decision and to reconcile the misunderstood from those who doubt his judgment.
At the beginning of his speech, he repeated his decision firmly to cite the thoughtful decision that he made would not be pull back. He claimed that the action to send additional troops to Afghanistan is the preparation for withdrawing American military force gradually. He hopes the forces of the United States can begin to transfer out of the Afghanistan in July of 2011. Obama insists that the military action that has taken place in Middle East after 911 has a significant impact in reducing the power of terrorists. In the speech, he mentioned his decision in three major approaches as follow. First, the U.S. will help to deny al Qaeda a safe haven. Second, the U.S. will help Afghanistan to fight against Taliban and to weaken its force. Third, the U.S. will support Afghanistan and its government to strengthen its security and economy. He also emphasized that the United States will mainly focus its own benefits and interests.
Although it's hard to sympathize the pain that the United States has since 911 attacks, I admire that the U.S. wasn't depressed because of this tragedy. I believe president Obama has the faith to do anything that those prior presidents couldn't do to maintain the dignity of the U.S. and to secure the world's peace. I consider that the U.S. as a positive role model in the world in terms of the liberty and development. I am looking forward to see his action would ease any fight and keep people away from fear. However, I worry about that will other alliance buy what Obama has planned?
