U.S. Troops Prepare to Test Obama’s Afghan War Plan – Time Magazine

Time Magazine online has a piece today entitled U.S. Troops Prepare to Test Obama’s Afghan War Plan .

The article asks us to hold judgment on Obama’s Afghan War Plan until the assault of Marja is over and the peace has been restored to that part of Afghanistan.  I think however, we are beyond that now.  But how far beyond it?

No one seems to be asking the pertinent question, why are we involved here?  In other words, why is it in our national interest to get our young people maimed, injured, killed or driven crazy in this endless war-mongering?  What do we have to gain, and by we I mean the American people at large, not the banksters and the emerging market speculators and the energy cartel giants.

I simply do not understand how a ridiculous, unnecessary and ludicrous on-every-level series of wars can be strung out for so long without social unrest ensuing here at home.  Maybe I am just a romantic, but I would have thought the American people were better than this.

Why are we over there?  Why are these kids being sacrificed?

This insanity simply must end if we are going to keep even a shred of our national integrity intact.
