I have been frustrated about our continued involvement in both Iraq and Afghanistan.
For me, it was one thing to have to endure this outrageous foreign policy under Bush/Cheney, but it is completely intolerable that the same policy continues under a "progressive" administration. Unbelievably, the situation in Afghanistan is even worse than under the incompetent Bush regime. I'm not sure what any of us can do to change this policy. We have all made our voices heard at the ballot box, but even our own party ignores the message we have delivered.
Today, however, we have a chance to put this issue back on the front page. PFC Bradley Manning of the United States Army is facing prosecution by our government for being a patriot: he released numerous documents to wikipedia showing the incompetence of our armed forces, and demonstrating the culpability both administrations have in the countless war crimes which have occured on their watch. This is a true American hero-someone who has stood up to the powers that be in an effort to get the truth to the American people.
Many on this website pledge support to media types like Keith Olberman who accumulate much fame and fortune spreading the progressive agenda-but here is an individual with little to gain, and virtually everything to lose, who is doing his part to educate the American people and STOP THESE ILLEGAL WARS. Everyone on this website owes him a debt of gratitude, and we all need to pledge support by calling our local congressman/woman and demand his immediate release from custody.
