2276 April 22, 2010 Linda Kelley , CA, US W are only breeding more resentment, hatred, and reasons for local peoples to join Taliban. We must get out of Afghanistan now - and give real humanitarian help if we want to avert extremism in both Afghanistan and Pakistan. What would you do if your wife and children were killed, maimed, starving........ not say thank you, that's for sure.
GET AMERICAN TROUPS OUT NOW AND USE A FRACTION OF THE MONEY WE'RE SPENDING ON REAL AID - WE'LL BE MUCH SAFER!

2270 February 25, 2010 Elizabeth Garrett , MA, US I am sickened to my very core by the violence which the US Military has percipitated during its occupation in Iraq and Afghanastan, & other countries. To go into poor countries and to wreak havoc on civilian populations (because those are the people who suffer the most), is a crime against humanity. Bush and Cheney should still be held accountable and jailed for these "wars" which THEY created. Obama has inherited a terrible mess. I only hope that he and his administration find the courage to use their power to end this sickness called "War" . I hope the Senate members realize that "We the People" are onto you. We know that you are protecting a small majority of wealthy people. We shall overcome. The good-hearted people of this Earth will prevail.
2269 February 17, 2010 Anonymous , MO, US we don't want any more of these wars anywhere for any reason. Not afghanistan, iraq, pakistan or iran or anywhere else on earth nor in the U.S. against our own people for false reason's or otherwise.

2261 January 19, 2010 Anonymous , NC, US Use your influence to reduce US military spending to less than 10% from its current 50% of our tax dollars/budget. Use our tax dollars to ensure the well-being of all people, to promote peace by ensuring food, clothing, shelter, education, healthcare, and livelihood to all people.
2260 January 19, 2010 Stella Corona , HI, US Instead of sending troops, send engineers, help them to rebuild what we have destroyed. They deserve our support for a better future, after surviving our destruction for close to a decade. We need to teach the women how to take care of them selves and stand on their own, we need to teach the children to read, and we need to teach the men respect both women and men equally.
2259 January 08, 2010 Marna Wolak , CA, US Instead of increasing military funding, we should be helping to rebuild schools, roads, homes, etc. Only through education will there be peace.
Fight terror with books, not bombs. Educated women and children will be less likely to turn to terror.
2258 January 05, 2010 Nancy Walker , CA, US Killing of other humans in war is barbaric! I'm ashamed of my country engaging in this action. Just what in the hell are we defending?
2257 January 01, 2010 Ayisha Hameed , GB Lets stand together and make a change
