Afghanistan

We will begin to responsibly leave Iraq to its people, and forge a hard-earned peace in Afghanistan.

So President Obama said this in his speech last week. To forge a hard-earned peace in Afghanistan....

“Afghanistan in many ways poses an even more complex and difficult long-term challenge than Iraq — one that, despite a large international effort, will require a significant U.S. military and economic commitment for some time,” the defense secretary and former CIA head wrote.

I can't say I am disappointed that our new president is heading towards Afghanistan; he said it himself in his presidential campaign that we need to spend more than ever in the military budget, but I just didn't want to see more declarations of war.
