“It is sad that innocent have to go through this, but it is the best.”

LOS ANGELES -- Islam Online
As some American Afghans applauded the U.S. strikes against Taliban, others expressed sorrow and anger, confirming that a war against Afghanistan is not the solution.

However, all American Afghans are unified in their concern for their homeland, which before the war, already suffered from impoverishment, famine and starvation.

Mostly, they are concerned about their relatives and friends left behind in Afghanistan.

Harith Tarin, 22, an Islamic studies teacher at New Horizon School in Los Angeles, feels sad and angry for the innocent people already suffering in Afghanistan.

"I feel that no one understands the actual situation of Afghanistan," said Tarin.
