Once again Rethink Afghanistan is putting idealism ahead of reality by claiming that anything short of total pacifism<\/a> will resolve the problems in Afghanistan and the rest of the world. <\/p>\n

The new numbers released this weekend show that the escalation strategy in Afghanistan continues to be a failure on its own merits and a cruel joke perpetrated on the Afghan population. It’s time to get those troops home.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Cruel joke? How about this for a cruel joke. Use the plights of the plight of the Afghanistan population for the withdraw of US troops. Then if and when that happens the same people will completely discard them into the waiting hands of the Taliban and friends. Oh but don’t worry they will be getting thoughts of solidarity from people and “there in spirit” songs\/poems. That is totality going to happen, I mean this is the change that you can believe in. <\/p>\n

The comments are even better<\/p>\n

\nYou don’t have to be a hero anymore, President Obama. Stop the war now!!!<\/p>\n

Dear Mr President: Your troop increase did NOT “protect the population from insurgent violence”. It increased the death toll of Afghan civilians. Time to pull out!<\/p>\n

War is an inhumane and evil act. Do the right thing and stop the bloody war now!<\/p>\n

War never works. Bring the troops home now!<\/p>\n

Unjust wars like these makes deadly enemies out of friends. When we go under, don’t expect anyone to even get hankee for us. Our leaders are destroying this country. Where are all the protest? Can we as a nation really be so into ourselves that we cannot see the suffering this unjust nation is doing? I can’t buy into all this flag waving when this country is the cause of 99% of opression. We are the most violent nation on earth and we will pay for it very soon.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
