This article shows and talks about the death toll among foreign soldiers in Afghanistan surpassing 700, and civilian casualties increasing by 20 per cent in the first 10 months of 2010, according to a new United Nations report. Two or more NATO service members were killed and the coalition investigated the deaths of five more civilians.

  1. Both interesting articles. A rising death toll - when one might think things were improving is a real concern. Bearing in mind, the on-going loss of life and treasure, what do you think is now the purpose of our on-going involvement in Afghanistan? You might also wish to refer to my posting from ABC News Roundtable on The War in Afghanistan.
