My Piece ...

(And no, Martin, it isn't about that lady! LOL)

OK. Somebody has to say this. So, I will.

We will never "win" the war in Afghanistan. We cannot defeat terrorism. It is in the blood and the divergent "religion" of certain tribal characters over there that they must do "Jihad."

It is the way it is.

We are wasting huge sums of money and terrible numbers of American and Coalition lives and limbs by perpetuating what is a political morass.

We keep sending morons to Washington who see the war as an assist toward re-election, which is the ultimate practice of all politicians.

It is time to bring it to an end.

bring the troops home.let what ever happens in the aftermath happen.

We cannot build nations anymore. We are not Gods.

Let's get serious about our place in the world.

Why keep sending our young people to places where they will die or get maimed in the name of "Democracy?"

Those people have never know democracy and they never will.

Let them suffer their own fates.

Bring the troops home.

The time for revenge has long passed.

I don't know that I agree, but it is starting to feel more and more like Viet Nam- an endless war with no clear victories. Many lives lost, and nothing has truly changed.

I agree. There will always be an extremist segment of the Islam religion who believe that we are infidels. The best we can hope for is to protect ourselves from those who would do us harm here in the U.S. As long as we maintain a presence in their countries and try to eliminate them, we encourage them to come into our country just that much more.

I so agree with that. Need to show this to my son

I too agree with getting the troops back. History show us the futility of aggression between the Christians and Muslims - the crusades show this

The only army to ever conquer the Pashtuns and Afghans was the Greek army of Alexander. And he only did it passing through to India. The Greeks never occupied it - they just laid waste to it while marching across the country to the Khyber Pass. The Afghan city of Kandahar is named after Alexander. Kandahar is how the name is pronounced in Pashtun.

I totally agree.A waste of lives of these young men and women getting killed and for what.Obama was supposed to cut this short.One of his promises.We had more people killed this month.When are they going to wake up.What do we need to tell them that is not our war?This sucks.
Your right we are not God to fix it.

I am with you Jon. This was Dubya's revenge and nothing that we needed to do. We have killed too many young men. The V. A. hospital is full of young men with grievious head wounds.

just about every nation in the past has failed in afghanistan ----too many tribes, not only the religeon ---fighting is their way of life one way for the chiefs to get rich and getting paid from the highest bidder to fight for
