Afghan Tribe, Vowing to Fight Taliban, to Get U.S. Aid in Return

To the Editor
On January 27th an article was published in the New York Times titled Afghan Tribe, Vowing to Fight Taliban, to Get U.S. Aid in Return. After the many articles about death and destruction in the Middle East this article was a breath of fresh air. This article was about cooperation between a Pashtun tribe and the United States. This type of cooperation is truly going to be a key component in this war. I also feel like many people forget about the other people involved in this war. Many times all that is shown is the U.S. and the Taliban, we forget that there are other people who want peace just as much as we do. Many of these tribes are fighting for their families just like our soldiers are and I think that everyone needs to remember that. I’m really glad that this article was published to remind all of us about the people and their families who are in the middle of this battle just like we are.
