Kabul (Online). American and Afghan officials have said that the American mission in Afghanistan is more complicated and difficult as compared to Iraq. According to a French news agency in its report, using the same security policy in Afghanistan as in Iraq could be among the new American administration's most important priorities. American and Afghan officials have said that the reason behind complication in Afghanistan is that there are safe havens beyond the borders of tribal rivalries. It is also in the report that General David Petraeus has said that they can not use the Iraq strategy in Afghanistan because the situation there is quite different. According to the report, the Afghan minister of trade has said that America should keep in mind that Afghanistan is not Iraq. Here America faces a completely different situation and it has to adopt a different policy to win this war.
