YES. We should leave Afghanistan, they

don't want us there. This is a country that needs to do things their own way. We are now looked upon as intruders, and not helpers. We have given enough lives, time and money for this cause. It's time to come home NOW. Why wait until we lose more troops? We do not owe this country anymore.

It is true we will be sending money for a long time, but no more life loss of our troops. Money sent to them, yes, troop loss NO WAY. Bring them home, now.

I strongly supported action in Afghanistan, but I now think it's time for us to leave. Karzai has signaled that he wants us to remove troops from certain areas, and also let Afghan forces take the lead for countrywide security a year ahead of schedule. Afghanistan isn't our country; we no have right to stay there if we're being asked to leave.
