Afghanistan Requests Iran To Increase It's Presence In Their Country

Right now in 2010 the nation of Iran is considered a threat to the stability of the Middle East and other parts of the wold, and a specific threat toward Israel and yet Iran is and has been engaged in high level diplomatic talks with Afghanistan and since we all know that the United States says that Iran is supplying support to terrorists in both Iraq and Afghanistan. So we should assume that Afghan Foreign Minister Zalmay Rassoul must be in Iran trying to end Iran's support of these groups trying to tear down Afghanistan's fledgling government.

Oh but if that's what I was assuming than I was way off the mark, it seems that Foreign Minister Rassoul was in Iran earlier this month addressing Iran's Supreme National Security Council not about the illegal arming of insurgents in his country, but rather he was asking Saeed Jalili, the head minister of the Supreme Council to increase their presence in Afghanistan as well as requesting Iran to boost it's involvement  in peace talks to end the conflict in Afghanistan which was invaded in 2001 by United States and coalition forces after the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon.

Now first let me point out that of course Afghanistan is a sovereign nation that can hold talks and make treaties with whoever, whenever they want to and in no way am I saying that they should be acting as a puppet of the United States. They are neighbors of Iran so by all means they should be holding talks to try and assure their national security and if making good with Iran will do that, more power to them, however they are forgetting one thing, there are US troops in Afghanistan and Iran, and the President of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has made public threats toward the United States and other coalition forces so inviting Iran to have a public up front presence in Afghanistan to me is a slap in our faces and may result in increased fighting and a longer US presence in Afghanistan.

I believe 100% that we need to be in Afghanistan hunting down and destroying the terrorist's currently trying to use Afghanistan as a safe haven and as place to carry out their Jihad against the US, and we need to make it clear to the government of Afghanistan that any Iranian Nationals found in the country without specific diplomatic missions will be taken into custody as possible security threat to US forces, if we don't Iran will take our non-response as a publicly opened door to so supply weapons or even send agents to carry out attacks themselves, I say publicly because I believe that Iran is already doing this "secretly" in Afghanistan as it was already proven they were doing in Iraq in the past, it was easier to prove in Iraq however because Iraq themselves at the time considered Iran a threat to their security.

Now I know their will be allot of readers out there who are not going to agree with on me this, but I see the main goal of our leaders should always be the safety of our troops while they carry out the mission they send them on.
