Come on Prez. Can we not go home now?

Dear President Obama,

I voted for you in 2010 and plan to vote for you in November. I am admirer of you and your lovely family. But, it is time for the harsh and hard truth. We have over stayed our visit in Afghanistan. It’s time to leave. Pack up the troops and get out. I need not tell you why. You know the reasons.

None the less, most Americans are weary of reading and hearing, on a daily basis, about troop casualties. Too many needless deaths. And I mean needless because of a now pointless war. A war with no end in sight.

You know as well as most Americans, whenever our troops pull out a bloody civil war will erupt in Afghanistan. If it hasn’t already. Civil war will inevitably occur if we leave now or twenty years from now.

A relentless war mostly started by our intrusion back in the Bush administration. We blew up back then what there was and at that point we should have left. So we have stayed too long. We have been beating a dead horse. Just making things worse.

So, it’s time to exit. Pull up stakes and move the guys and gals back home. Home where they belong. No more daily lists of troop casualties. No more flag draped coffins. No more sounding of Taps. Just troops back home safe and with their families.

When will we ever learn war, as we know it, doesn’t really work? America is not the World’s police. We should be the World’s teachers and nurses. And, most of all the World’s friendly Farmer. Let’s export corn and potatoes. Not killer bombs.
