I am torn on this one. 30,000 more troops (and 10,000 more from allies) is being approved by the UN General Secretary Ban Ki-moon. On one hand I agree that Afghanistan needs to develop it's own security plan and as such the troop deployment can help with that. On the other hand, I'm doubtful on success of this plan as the people see this is a military occupation and hence will not submit. Tough one to call but I've always believed that more violence benefits no one but defense contractors. One pager on Ban's perspective here.
