    i'm not sure whether the un pulling out makes them credible as an arbiter in unstable regions of the world, as much as i understand the desire to protect un employees.

      I can understand the decision of the UN, because the risk has become too high for the members of its staff. Living with the constant fear to be killed is nothing one could stand very long psychologically. It´s time to recognize that the whole mission was somehow a mistake. The more soldiers return home as dead men, the less support will there be among the population. America and its partners will have to find a solution for Afghanistan soon, before the country is totally out of control.

        Obama's Afghan decision not likely before Nov. 11
        "With violence this year reaching its worst levels in Afghanistan since the Taliban was ousted by U.S.-backed Afghan forces in 2001, Obama is under pressure to spell out U.S. plans."

          VOA mentions the number 600. For their own safety after the bombs of last week.

          Oh goody - we can send more contractors.
