forget Afghanistan, Obama needs to make US schools better. There's so many budget cuts and firings while he's spending all this money on a war that won't be solved.

Vote 1 cruise missile for the lulz.

America spends more than 8 times the amount of money on war than Russia or China.

Russia and China aren't even involved in conflicts. They aren't considered developed countries either.

There is no "war" in Afghanistan, only meaningless skirmishes.
The reason is that the taliban and other terrorist organizations are not a military but a people.
Unlike a country's military which requires many months of specialised training, all you have to do to join the Taliban is pick up an AK47 and say I'm in. The Taliban will not give up because they can't, they have no specialized leaders who if killed they couldn't continue towards their goals.
Case in point, our "war" is just a massive waste of money and young lives.

Without this war, a bunch of stuff covered America hating monkeys would be running around blowing stuff up.
But with the war, a lot of our men are shedding blood, and dying.
:C
Neither way is good.

Most wars end with negotiations, though. :o

Maybe we can go to Paris and have some tea with the Al-Queda boys and the Taliban while we make friends :o

Sources are hyperlinked, so forget off Obama lover.

No, I'm just saying.  You should never blindly obey, and for all I care about this: They could be lieing, the people who wrote that could be pacifists or against the war in Iraq.
