Who Asked?

I don't know.

Maybe the friends and families of the 3,000 who died at the World Trade Center Towers?

Maybe Americans concerned about the security of this nation?

Maybe people who are not afraid to stand up to Islamic Terrorisim?

Not me.

Not me.

My understanding is the USA

My understanding is the USA is trying to get the "government" of Afghanistan to be a stable entity and then withdraw. I'm extremely doubtful this will ever happen. My gut tells me this is a waste of our time and resources. Obama's initial reasoning for being there was going after Bin Laden. I understand we have something like 80 DEA agents in the country.
