10 reasons to end the wars now
http://www.lp.org/blogs/staff/lp-monday-message-10-reasons-to-end-the-wa...
1. American military and contractor casualties in Iraq and Afghanistan.
2. Iraqi and Afghanistan civilian and military casualties.
3. These wars are a tremendous waste of taxpayer money in a time of extreme deficits, high unemployment and a falling stock market.
4. Invading and occupying Afghanistan and Iraq feeds terrorism.
5. Osama Bin Laden and his co-conspirators who attacked the World Trade Center were Saudi Arabian.
6. As Congressman Ron Paul recently said: "In Afghanistan, we are fighting the Taliban, those dangerous people with guns defending their homeland. Once they were called the Mujahideen, our old allies, along with bin Laden, in the fight to oust the Soviets from Afghanistan in the 1980s."
7. Most Republicans in Congress now admit Iraq was a mistake.
8. Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele's comments show that even the hawkish Republican Party can't support this war with a straight face.
9. As James Madison said, "If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy." (Witness the PATRIOT Act.)
10. The U.S. military has been in Iraq over seven years, and in Afghanistan almost nine years. It's time to give peace a chance.
As spot on as those ten reasons are, sadly for some those would be ten reasons to stay the course. I could never no the true reason why some of the enlisted men and women in my area chose to take their own life by jumping off the Tappan Zee Bridge rather than being deployed but maybe they wanted to die with a clear conscience. I wish they would have gone AWOL by fleeing the country instead but since going into Canada now requires a passport they might have been detained at the border.
