What role should the United States
have in Afghanistan? 

Unfortunately, we started something that we thought we could control, but we were wrong. It backfired. The solution is that we need to find an antidote. That would be a tough one.

I think the current U.S. involvement is a little intimidating to some of the Afghan people. I think we should come at them in a different angle: helpful, instead of showing authority as a super-power nation.

Lets get out! Let them deal with their own problems. I care. I’m not heartless, but we have a lot of issues at home and we need to put our energies into that.

I’m very concerned about building up troops in Afghanistan because of the similarities in Iraq and Vietnam. President Obama has a tough decision to make.

I’m a firm believer that we should bring our troops home, but I’m not naïve enough to think it can occur overnight. We definitely need a strategic plan.

I think the President should keep trying to pull the troops out slowly but surely. And make sure that it’s obvious that he’s doing it.
