Afghans Are Afraid We'll Just Walk Away

In my opinion, we should just walk away. We don't need to be in a war that's going nowhere and has no place to go. If we must have a confrontation somewhere, let's go to Pakistan's mountains and finish what we started 8 years ago. That's our fight. That's the only front worth losing our children to. Even as I write, I question whether bin laden is even worth a fight. As a global nation, his power has been thwarted in many, many countries by anticipating and nullifying his threat. I think this to be sufficient reason to recall the offensive and give time time.

We have Clinton and Obama to get things done. Those two are able to move throughout the countries and issues reaching resolution and compromise as they go.

I have always been a quiet pacifist. I have reached my time to take to the soap box and encourage others to rethink or at least double-check their beliefs about warring. You all know how you will dread the dissertations of my opinions. Suffer you must. I have a contribution to make.
