I love how people say things like that when they have no idea what they're talking about. You can't just end a "stupid" pointless war. It's not that easy. We have interests that keep us in it. It's not just going after the "terrorists". It's TONS of factors put together. Our image in the world would go way down if we just up and left the Afghans without helping them build the country back up. That, in turn, affects alot of things. I could care less what they think about us, but that area of the world is really important to the Unites States.

People might as well get used to us being in this war for a few more years. Until Pakistan picks it up and does there part to stop it, it's going to go on and on. No President we elect will bring us out of there until the Paki's fix their ****.

Now, in response to your last paragraph, I'm a republican as well, and I voted for McCain. If he had been elected, we'd be alot closer to ending the War in AFG by now. Obama screwed himself by not being decisive and sending what we needed to get this over with. I've seen it firsthand. Like I've said in other threads, I could go on and on about this subject, but it wouldn't matter.

Wildcat, you might as well move to Canada with that kind of outlook on things, lol. People act like this is the first roadblock that this country has come up against. Our country has had times like this many times before. We will get out of it. It's kind of like the whole "green" movement, people thinking that the temps are getting hotter and colder entirely because of us. The Earth goes through many cycles like this. Get over it and persevere.

We have to do it. We have to get rid of the ****'s that go on about what they'll do, it's just empty promises. We have to elect the people that are going to bring us out of this, the people that are 100% focused on the betterment of the country as a whole, not individual betterment. We have to do it, it's up to us.

Well said:Thumbs:
I, just like everybody else am just tired of this. To be honest, i believe id rather just quit cold turkey and wait. A major war is probably going to happen in our lifetimes anyways whether we stay or not. Something little is going to start a major conflict and probably bring on another world war although i hope it doesnt.
Remember what started the last world war, duke ferdinand was assasinated, and i would bet money 95% of people dont even know that was, because it blew up into everything that it did.
The time is coming, and every american should be ready, there just waiting for the right time over there, anything at all to start something, i just pray that we never see it in our lifetime.
