It is not that American helicopter has been shot down for the first time in Afghanistan. Before this many helicopters belonging to NATo have been shot down but the helicopter that was shot down on last Friday in Warak province of Afghanistan that has shaken the foundations of NATO forces.

Afghanistan, famous as the graveyard of the high and mighty for centuries, is about to repeat its history. Afghanistan has struck as the proverbial shrew in the throat of American snake drunk on the pride of being the sole superpower of the world. It neither easy to through up nor to gobble up. In this wrestling its economy is on the verge of destruction. It is spending billions of dollars in Afghanistan annually. And in the seamless desert of Afghanistan it is looking for those footsteps that were left by Soviet Union and Britain in their return journey from Afghanistan.
