Out of Afghanistan now is the only solution to changing Washington now
The reasons for not being there are too obvious to list again. Most probably we will have another Obama term since he is still popular and charismatic. There is no primary challenger. The only way we can unite is to drumbeat for no war..to solve our problems at home with a little influx of the cash and energy that is wasted by destruction.

We can no longer pin our hopes on a party or a person. Has to be a groundswell and Afghanistan is the perfect catalyst. The majority are opposed to this war and I believe now is the time to dust off our anti war marching boots and get in the streets. Put a tag at the end of every email we send..concerted effort to expose the folly of war and destruction.

I think we should turn this stupid war into an opportunity to change course..not only in afghanistan but in washington which is really run by the mic...or so it seems

1. amen!
OUT. NOW. that's a great bumper sticker ;)

If our administration can;t grow the cojones to just get out and if we wanna help with infrastructure over there, leave it to the UN and peacekeepers and missionaries or whatever... Afganistan buried the russians, are we so stupid and shortsighted?
Meanwhile how much money are we flushing down that toilet when WE NEED OUR OWN INFRASTRUCTURE REBUILT...

GAH! It's maddening.
I'm with you, let's galvanize behind the END WAR movement :applause:

2. the war is indefensible ..our unification against eliminates the political bloviating
and siding or not siding with a person or ideology..this war may be the one thing that can unite the country and i think the time is now

this war defies wisdom..it is wrong..imprudent..wasteful..disrespectful to us all..etc
