The president of the United States of America hasn’t done enough to save American and Afghanistan lives. President Barack Obama hasn’t learned from the failed, bankrupt, dissolved U.S.S.R. that you can’t change a people from the outside in. Change comes from the inside out.
The people in South Africa brought down the system of enslavement forced on them for many years by Europeans from the inside out. They wanted the change and asked the world to help.
The United States wasn’t invited to Afghanistan and saying the armed forces will leave in 2014 is not acceptable. How many more lives will be lost to a senseless endeavor? The United States stayed in Vietnam for too long. More 56, 000 American lives and a million or more Vietnamese were lost before it ended. The country is now a U.S. trading partner.
People of other countries can do well on their own.
I pray that one day after Obama is reelected, he will call all troops out of Afghanistan. There is enough work in Detroit tearing down houses that nobody wants anymore to hire all the troops and pay them hazard duty pay.
