President Obama is currently poised to send 40,000 more troops to Afghanistan and the Pentagon is gearing up to ask for another $50 billion in funding for the wars (on top of the $130 billion they have already received.) We can't afford to let this happen

The euphoria of 2008 is officially over, leaving America without any clear binding political direction. Even the most hardcore Obama fans are now beginning to thumb their noses and walk away in frustration. "Yes We Can" has now become "No We Can't"!

Dropping bombs and killing civilians angers whole populations and creates ill will to the perpetrators. Bombings to vanquish the al-Qaeda network is like hitting a mature dandelion with a golf club. It just ensures another generation of al-Qaeda. Rethink?

In place of health care for Americans, there will be more profits for private insurance companies. In place of peace there will be more war. Obama's credibility is shot. And so is Congress's, if it ever had any. The rest of the world doesn't count?
