Syrian Columnist: Can the United States Avoid Another Vietnam in Afghanistan?
In a recent article, Syrian columnist Muhammad Sayyed Rassas reviewed the U.S.'s situation in Afghanistan, comparing it to its situation in Iraq. He stated that since 2006, the U.S. forces in Afghanistan have been losing ground to the Taliban, and they have now reached a point where they are desperate to reach understandings with this movement at any cost. In his opinion, the Taliban's strength in Afghanistan stems from the fact that it has the support of the majority in the country, as well as the support of the Taliban in neighboring Pakistan; conversely, in Iraq the resistance is supported only by a minority, while most Iraqis have chosen to participate in the political process rather than to fight.
