Bring our troops home!
President Barack Obama said to foreign leaders in his inaugural address, "your people will judge you on what you can build, not what you destroy."
How true.
Why then are we escalating the war in Afghanistan and Pakistan? An action that will surely create more destruction and devastation, a course which may preclude us from building a political solution--the real path to peace.
Similarities between Johnson's Vietnam and Obama's Afghanistan/Pakistan are already being drawn. Read more here.
Tell President Obama, Vice President Biden, your Senators and member of Congress we need a political solution to secure Afghanistan/Pakistan--history teaches us that there is no military solution.
Use for editing:
Don’t allow Afghanistan to become the next Vietnam. Every bomb that drops creates more terrorists than it kills because innocent civilians are being hurt and killed, too. There is no military solution in Afghanistan.
Please work towards a political solution and bring our troops home from Afghanistan. We cannot afford the blood, the treasure, or the animus U.S. escalation is sure to incur.
There is far too much at stake to become entangled in Afghanistan for another seven years. Our troops have served us well--but to no avail--please bring them home to their families.
