weblog #3 US military: Afghan policeman kills US soldier

According to US military: Afghan policeman kills US soldier, an Afghan policeman opened fire and tossed a hand grenade on a U.S. military patrol in eastern Afghanistan, killing an American soldier.

It seems like that American soldiers are still in the dangerous zone. Lasting so long, the war still is not ended. The long enmity has been claiming a lot of casualties including several women and children. You shoot me. I kill you. Your comrade kills me. My comrade kills your comrade. When will these things stop? No one knows the answer. The insurgents kept up their assault day after day. Possessing heavy ammunitions, their force can hardly be worn down. Even the NATO-led troops cannot make any effective influence.

However, what are all these assaults about? Things always happen with a reason. Afghanistan president, his USA backers, the Nato, frictions between them is so complicated that it has been difficult to handle. There is nothing we can do but to observe from the sidelines. If we want to help so many the wounded civilians, the goods might be intercepted by the government or the insurgents. I feel useless for I cannot do anything to help but to sympathize and pray for them. Everyone wants world peace, but I cannot see any influential groups stand up to do something influential, to make the world more wonderful.
