Stop the War in Afghanistan!
- Eleven Years in Afghanistan—How Many More? The Obama administration has promised troop withdrawal from Afghanistan by 2014. The past eleven years of illegal military action have failed to create any tangible peace in the country, nor have they brought increased security or a reduction of terrorist groups, let alone any freedom for Afghan women. Instead, thousands of Afghan civilians have been killed in the cross-fire along with a corresponding increase in troop casualties. Over 1790 U.S. service men and women have sacrificed their lives for this war. We must stop the war now!

Heaven has hated us and all those triumphs
Where justice was thrown down—so many wars,
So many kinds of wickedness! No honor
Rendered the plow, but the fields gone to ruin,
The country-folk made homeless, and their scythes
Beaten to straight swords on the blowing forge!
War from the Euphrates to Germany;
Ruptured engagements, violence of nations,
And impious Mars raging the whole world over—
As when a four horsed chariot rears away
Plunging from the barrier, and runs wild,
Heedless of the reins or the charioteer.
— Virgil, First Georgic (trans. Robert Fitzgerald)
