Why do they hate us? Because we bomb the crap out of ’em. According to a US Institute for Peace report,
…the amount of munitions dropped or fired by U.S. and other NATO aircraft in Afghanistan has climbed from an average of 5,000 pounds per month in 2005 to some 80,000 pounds the following year to an average of 168,000 pounds in December 2007 …
So the reason we need more troops in Afghanistan, no shit, is to kill fewer people. More troops means less bombing. They say.

Shouldn't we also ask the questions "What the fuck are we doing in Afghanistan?" "What makes us think we can accomplish what the Soviets could not even though they had a hell of lot more troops and several years?"
Let's get out of all the 'stans. We are only pissing more people off and accomplishing nothing.
