Thinking About War

Tiger

It seems that President Obama has decided to send more troops to Afghanistan. While I'm not surprised, I am disappointed. Instead of exit strategy, it seems we have expansion of the war effort. Maybe there's a better way than war. War costs human lives. Even when they are bombing buildings that harbor terrorists, there are often innocent people close by, perhaps even inside being held hostage. Am I wrong in wanting a world without war. Why is it that no one seems to value peace at all? :(

It's a stupid move. It's a "Bush" thing to do. But I'm not really surprised. Democrats are loathe to pull out and be blamed for being weak on National Security. John McCain is bitching because they've actually set a time-line. The alternatives are worse, but that doesn't mean the guy we've got is right.

Not wrong Tiger, just naive. People can't get along. You can strive for peace, but all it takes is one guy to ruin it.

I will say this, no one should be surprised by this decision, President Obama made it very clear during his election campaign that he was going to focus on Afghanistan (Like we should have been, instead of diverting our resources six/seven years ago into Iraq). He has kept his promise (so far) in ending our campaign in Iraq.

 

As for peace, History has shown us that we move in cycles, and with those cycles I have learned that we will never have the idealistic peace that some of us hope for.
