even though there is a rational fear that retreating from afghanistan will result in afghanistan being taken over by the taliban it is my opinion that we should still out of there as fast as we possibly can
all that we can do by staying there is prolong the inevitable wasting resources in the process
there is no possible way that the us or anyone else for that matter can prevent ideas by occupying afghan cities
the only way we can fight these ideas is with respect
sending more troops will only make the middle east more mad at us than they already are
come on obama
the middle east likes you (somewhat) at the moment don't give it and the rest of the world reason to dislike you
don't make the same mistake bush made
we have enough to deal with domestically
recession
health care
climate change
. . .
let's not waste tons of money and life on a lost cause
seriously
what can be gained by staying there
i don't understand
if someone could enlighten me on this subject that would be great

ReplyDeletei don't understand either. at least we have obama and not another Bush or worse. i can at least have hope now. much of the world feels that too, and they let us know in many ways. one huge "GREAT WORK - DON'T STOP"* that the whole world heard was awarding Obama the recent Nobel Peace Prize.
ReplyDeleteBut you're right to speak out. To ask. To start a dialogue. Write to Obama and anyone you think might be able to help. maybe your voice can be heard too. I heard it.
love your blog. miss you on fb, but this is better. *GREAT WORK - DON'T STOP!
