Oddly enough, there&#8217;s no reaction fro the troops, because Druzin writes, the media was not allowed &#8220;access to deployed troops as they watched returns come in&#8221; for some odd reason. But, the reaction from Afghans is similar to the reaction of Americans;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cHe should try to focus more on bringing security to our country,\u201d said Abdul Wahid Kareem, a 35-year-old dress shop owner in Kabul. \u201cWe can\u2019t do anything on our own for security.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Two big issues Afghans would like to see the president tackle in his second term are development and a peace deal with the Taliban.<\/p>\n<p>Hedayatullah Ahmadi, owner of a refrigerator repair shop, said Obama needs to focus on building factories and creating job opportunities for Afghans.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf he fulfills the promises he made to Afghans, then it would be great,\u201d he said. \u201cHe said he will bring peace to Afghanistan by 2014.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Yeah, he can&#8217;t bring jobs for Americans, what makes you think you have a chance here, Hedayatullah. And he couldn&#8217;t bring himself to protect a little consulate in Benghazi, but you think he can provide security for your whole shit hole country? And you should go and make a tenable peace deal with the Taliban and see how long you can keep your head.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stars &#038; Stripes&#8216; Heather Druzin reports on the reaction in Afghanistan to the news that President &hellip; <a title=\"The reaction in Afghanistan\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=32733\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">The reaction in Afghanistan<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-32733","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-terror-war"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32733","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=32733"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32733\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=32733"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=32733"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=32733"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
