I had seen it on CNN, it's a fare documentary with covering most but not all aspects of the ongoing situation.
I mean their main focus was on nothing but everything, I mean they showed small parts of many things ongoing but didn't emphesis on the main core of the problem which is the the level of hatread towards the Coaliation, and the losing campaign of Winning the Hearts and Minds of people.
Why the Taleban are strenghening day after another???
The main cause of it is Coaliations' disrespect to culture and traditions of Afghan people, which has conter-fired for the Coaliation's Winning Heart and Minds of People, where now Taleban are winning Hearts and Minds of people.

You should have watched the videos. The first (perhaps posted by you on Youtube)is what you say but for the second and third you have been confused by their title. There are many videos like that, "American soldiers killing Iraki kids" etc made by pro-Coalition and pro-Americans, actually showing friendly atitude toward Iraki and Afghans from the Americans. -------------  |
