Canada wants out, and others are cutting troops as we are doubling our force. This may have a NATO stamp, but its largely a US operation.
I understand the world is a dangerous place. But, I also disagree with war as policy and profit.
We can talk again when that pipe dream of control becomes a reality in Wariristan. I hope this effort works, really I do. The Taliban are a cancer on this planet. More diplomacy is needed. More efforts need to be made to build up the people of Afghanistan. THey need schools, hospitals and working infrastructure. Unfortunately, they are getting more bombs and killings, from us and the militants, than those necessities.
Every dollar we spend launching strikes in Afghanistan and Pakistan is one less dollar for our infrastructure.
