I read thorugh some of the posts there, two of them that bothered me (more than that bothered me) was one that said "American should get out of the area, it is our land", and then another that said "Why haven't they helped our (afganistan) people before, can't they see they are suffering?"
On the one hand we have people who want us out - on the other we have people who can't understand why we aren't a bigger presence in the area in order to help.

My understanding was right up until about a week ago the US was sending $170 million in food every year to Afganistan. I don't see any appreciation at all for that. From what I see they make enough off dope tp buy it themselves - but governments always have more important things to spend their money on than food.

Yep. Their biggest money maker is Heroine/opium, and it seems that the government isn't all that destitute; only the people are.
You have to wonder at the practicality of sending $43 million to the Taliban government for assistance in a fight against drugs when without the drugs they'd have no other product. It's like a gift or an agricultural subsidy to grant them money. Welfare.
