We can't "Get Afghanistan Right" until we mount political pressure to change our approach. We need to be lobbyists, hence, this little warm up exercise.
Now its as easy as 1, 2, 3: Copy, Email, Send!
Please, write your representatives (and the President) and campaign for peace! I've made it easier with this letter I humbly offer. While you're at it, educate yourself. If you hit the books, you'll actually know what you are talking about before you speak! wink Afghanistan and Iraq have very different histories, and the two wars are quite disimiliar. You can follow up by taking the same action I am asking the representatives for: read up! Sarah Chayes, Greg Mortensen, Malalai Joya --people who live in Afghanistan and know it first hand -- are your best sources. THANK YOU to those care enough to act!
A THOUSAND THANK YOUs ("Ta-shakur Azar-daffa") to those who've gone above and beyond for Afghanistan, making the lives of those in turmoil a little brighter, and risking your own.
