This is the sad proof that this war is far from over. Russians should not collaborate in any way with that US-NATO mess. How long will it take to the american people to make its crazy, cynical, greedy mondialisation and Wall-Street's masters undrestand that this whole erea (Irak, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan) must be left alone. Please brave US citizen wake-up and show us the way in the new energies industry. You were pioneers, keep being it. Sincerely...Jean-Claude Meslin

We pulled soldiers out of Afghanistan in order to invade Iraq, so the Taliban, which had almost been pushed completely out of the country, came back to power in the vacuum we left behind. Now we are pulling soldiers out of Iraq to go back to Afghanistan, so the suicide bombers are starting up a new civil war in Iraq in the vacuum we are leaving behind. This is just like "whack a mole" and about as effective. I am becoming convinced that we will have no success in either country without tripling our forces in both places, which neither the US government or the US people are prepared to accept. Thank you, George Bush and Donald Rumsfeld. And Barack Obama is not making things any better.

War is hell. This is why war should never be gone into lightly. War should always be the very last resort and not conducted just to make billionaires richer. This is why the American congress needs to get a handle on this propensity of presidents to start little wars, that turn into big wars. Only the United States congress has the constitutional authority to declare war. The U. S. congress needs to stop all wars that America it is involved in that is not declared by the congress. If a war is all that necessary, then the U. S. congress should "DECLARE WAR" on the country or countries involved. If the American congress does not have the guts to declare war, then don't get allow a war to happen or continue. Congress is the enabler of wars by not performing their constitutional responsibility. The dead and injured of these wars are the direct responsibility of the American congress, that has failed to declare either war or peace. TAKE A VOTE ON THESE WARS. It is your job. Hours are spent on insignificant special interest politicizing. Give America a chance Declare war or stop it.
