1. Do you agree the US should fund Afghanistan until 2017?

me seriously doubt that here we're indeed speaking about "civilian Afghan aid"... doubt we're even to call it "aid" as little civilians in fact will see it. So are we just continuing to pay off our troops' presence within the Afghan territories or what?? At least, as far as I can remember it, not long ago Karzai already have stated that he wants the US to pay $2 billion per year to stay. So... govs agree, but hide the bow behind "civilian aid"? Guess, that was predictable enough. ... ties with Taliban... drugs illegal pushing... - rumors are rumors but my son, who has just returned from his duty trip to Northern Afghanistan, says here we don't know even a half of all the profitable businesses the US commands hold there and will hardly step so easily aside.
So should taxpayers in this country continue fund Afghanistan until 2017?
