I'm just plain sick and tired of living in a society that's in perpetual crisis. Honestly, I'm not afraid that if we pull out of Afghanistan, I'm going to die. We're still spending over $6.5 billion a month providing protection, building schools and building infrastructure. We all know that the bulk of it is going into peoples pockets. In a recent poll, most Afghanistan citizens didn't even know what 9/11 was.
Is Afghanistan going to go into crisis if we leave? Yes. If we stay another 10 years and leave will they go into crisis? Yes. Are we ever going to change the middle east? No. Will there be more terrorist attacks here and around the world? Yes. Welcome to the future.
My question is, we've beat the snot out of most of the main terrorist groups. In a sense, we've done what we can. But are they beginning to win in their terrorist efforts by bankrupting our country? We're closing our schools, libraries, and denying Americans basic medical assistance. We're losing basic police protection, fire protection and our infrastructure is in horrible shape. We're sacrificing 20 year old kids because they can't find jobs here. Why are we doing this to ourselves? And, we are doing this to ourselves.
