So, if you take out the Taliban wouldn't the next people in power be the drug lords, hence Karzai and his bros connection to the trade?

"Even as it lurches toward a quasi-withdrawal from Iraq, the U.S. military has been hunkering down and hardening its presence elsewhere in the Middle East with little fanfare or press coverage. There has been almost no discussion in this country of a host of possible repercussions that might come from this, ranging from local opposition to the U.S. military's presence to the arming of undemocratic and repressive regimes in the region."

Tony Alexander Leave " TALIBAN " alone . If Afghanistan has a weak Government that is there for the taken SO WHAT ! Nobody is going to give them a nuclear bomb , they are of no threat . Those planes that hit us did not come from Afghanistan , there was no Afghanistan person aboard those planes , 14 Saudi's were involved , I guess the... oil and our military presence there lets them off the hook ( I am not against them ) . I think it was a JACKASS U.S. flight school that tought them how to fly a plane .
We need to get our house clean and start revoking Visa's .

Billboards. They are working for The Freedom From Religion Foundation. Billboards also get a lot of publicity in other media - local tv news and print - and are seen by many thousands each day. I know...this takes money but it is money well spent. Get sponsors. All that is needed is to put the questions in people's heads. What is the War ... See Morecosting Americans and show what else we could be doing with the money? Ask for a definition of "The Mission" and "winning." Not even Alexander the Great "won" in Afghanistan. NO ONE HAS EVER WON. Record the number of people - civilian and military - who have died. At the bottom of the Billboard put the website for Rethink Afghanistan and Congressional numbers. People will call.

Where IS Hollywood on this issue? Susan Sarandon? Tim Robbins? Sean Penn? Anybody?

John Bakalian Robert Greenwald: You can get MoveON to come out against more troops in Afghanistan. You have the connections and the power. Please use both.
If George W. Bush were to still be President right now and ordered up more troops, MoveON would be calling for his IMPEACHMENT. At least they (and the rest of us) should be ab...le to tell President Obama HE IS WRONG, and he is becoming an accomplice to W's War Crimes by adding to W's mess. ENOUGH.
