According to CNN, the NA has excecuted hundreds of people in Mazar-e Sharif. Raping and looting also have been reported there. The UN is raising alarm about the situation.
So to all people here, like Giani, who said the NA wouldn't revert to it's old ways have been wrong.
Also, it is clear they can't be trusted. They promised not to take Kabul as the Americans and Pakistani requested. However, they couldn't restrain themselves and did take the city, even after Bush has yesterday told them not to move in.
It is very clear the NA should not be trusted in any way, and it seems the Americans and their allies are making the same mistake they made in Kosovo. Letting local thugs do the fighting so they won't suffer any casualties themselves, a cowardly and very dangerous method, that will only make matters worse. We saw what happened in Kosovo, when the UCK was supported by NATO. After the Serbs left the UCK took over as the "police force" and made things only worse by attacking Macedonia. Now in Afghanistan the coalition is making the same mistake by supporting a bunch of war criminals do all this. They are wanted by the UN for war crimes, but Bush still calls them "friends".
I find this whole situation very disturbing, and it doesn't seem like the Coalition is doing anything to stop the NA. Of course, the Coalition shouldn't have aided the NA from the begining, but they don't want casualties of their own and they want a quick end to the war without looking ahead at all. This lack of political insight in the situation is very sad indeed. They didn't learn anything from what happened in former Yugoslavia.
I really hope some officials will be fired for this, or resign.
