Leaving Afghanistan
I was reading an article in Foreign Policy, but the last paragraph in the article got my attention

"There are very few true wars of necessity. The Civil War was one; World War II was another. When Mullah Omar refused to give up Osama bin Laden, a war in Afghanistan became necessary. But then the war changed character, and the nature of the adversary changed as well. A war against Islamic terrorism, in some form, remains necessary. But the war in Afghanistan does not.


When Foreign Policy starts to stay that Afghanistan war is unnecessary war, than it is time to get out. I mean really get out. Yet, a frank discussion to ending this war does not go on the media.
