Afghanistan

Our war policy in Afghanistan is clearly not working, it's totally broken. Should we keep on trying and find a way to fix it? No, we should get out of there as soon as possible. The Bush administration went there essentially to find Osama bin Laden who's probably dead by now and root out the camps that were behind 9/11.

It's now time to invest a fraction of what we've been wasting on that ruinous war into supporting NGOs that have the skills and tools to improving the lives of the people who live there instead of placating Karzai whom I can't trust and who is in power for his own enrichment. Between now and the time our army vacate the place, it would also be a good idea to try to tackle the poppy cultivation and think of more constructive alternatives to that activity...
