New Terrorists to this Waring World

On September 7, 2012, Ken Dilanian of the Los Angeles Times wrote the article called "U.S Designates Haqqani network a terrorist organization". The network of rich Pakistani Pashtuns, called the Haqqani, have been designated terrorists by the United States. They have been a problem to the United States' forces, killing 1200 soldiers and capturing one sergeant. They have become such a powerful force in the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan because of drug trade, real estate, construction, and autos. The US hopes that by designating them as a terrorist group, foreign trade will stop to the Haqqanis, and they can slowly start to weaken out economically. Unfortunately, the Haqqanis are allies with the Taliban, and are sympathetic to Al Quada plans on attacking US troops, diplomats, and soil. Having another terrorist group in this region is a big problem because now there is a fresh group of militants that are ready to fight US troops with proper funding. The Haqqanis are the descendants of the Mujahedin fighters during the Soviet/Afghanistan war, and they are using the same principles of back then today; to drive out any foreign invaders. The Haqqani family have a long line of succession, just recently gaining leadership from the son of the original Haqqani. Even though they have been designated terrorists, the US is trying to diplomatically find a solution to this problem, but have recently been in vain. It is very important that we get the Middle East calm again, and if it means deploying out of there, or catching the last of the terrorists in the region, then that is what we must do.
