More troops for Afghanistan is "historically"

an error in judgement and in the end

will increase the popularity of all terrorist

activity there and elsewhere globally.

We are not fighting for democracy

this is an invasion and illegal occupation.

Escalation is an act of treason since

in most ways it plays into the

hands of an "enemy" who are far less

popular than one can imagine.

Escalation will increase dramatically

the number of civilian casualties as it has

in our other U.S. wars of liberation. This action

will not speak of Democracy but of an

inability to follow the lessons of history.

There is a deep cultural mix of politics in

Afghanistan which is mostly tribal. Tribal

cultures tend to band together to fight

invasions from outside the tribal miix.

We will not be victorious but will expend

lives and dollars on a useless operation.

Allow the terrorist to operate freely and

they will in time be rejected by Afghanistan's

cultural and political infrastructure. How much

time? One could almost guarantee that it

will be far less time than the time needed

by the U.S. to exterminate the terrorists.

The terrorist in Afghanistan are not embraced

by the people they are universally unpopular. This

Brutal enforcement is not as a solution for the internal

problems of Afghanistan. Left alone, like most

brutal political organizations it will likely die

quicker than with the aid of outside military

action by the U.S. This is a simple historical

fact. Why the needless slaughter of U.S. troops

and the citizens of Afghanistan? In order to

understand this you only need to reference

a simple truth. The terrorist are an outside

influence and will be rejected as such. Eons

of cultural, tribal history support this thesis.

SIMPLE FACT!
