2009 was the worst year since the fall of the Taliban regime in 2001 for civilians caught up in the armed conflict, with the number of Afghan civilians killed the highest of any year since the beginning of the war. The deaths of 1,630 innocent civilians, including at least 345 children 
were predominantly due to the insurgents and their indiscriminate use of roadside bombs and other terror tactics. NATO and Afghan troops were responsible for the 596 civilian deaths last year, which droped about 30 percent from 2008. There are fears that civilian deaths could increase as 30,000 US and NATO troops are due to surge Afganastan by the middle of 2010.

The Afghan War is very sad. There are more deaths in this war than in any other war.
