Rainy Protest Against War Escalation

Day-After Protest in Philly against Afghan War escalation on December 2.            The newest escalation of war on the Afghan people resulted in a crowd of people taking the corner of 15th & Market on December 2 with signs, banners and umbrellas. Responding to President Obama's Tuesday night announcement to add 30,000 more troops to the 80,000 U.S. troops already in Aghanistan, close to a hundred demonstrators chanted and heard speakers denounce the government decision. "Jobs Not War" chants greeted pedestrians leaving the City Hall Christmas Tree Lighting ceremony, as well as workers and shoppers on the way home, during the rain-dampened rush hour protest. |

I think it is high time what
Submitted by fxrenew (no verificado) on Vie, 09/17/2010 - 2:11amI think it is high time what we pull back our troops from Afghanistan. I cannot understand why we are wasting our money by waging a war. Our decision to send troops to Iraq and Afghanistan has cost us dearly. Billions of dollars are spend to rebuild the economy of these countries while we, the US citizens, are virtually starving. Obama should not send any more troops to Afghanistan. In my view he should spend money to rebuild our economy rather than the economies of Iraq and Afghanistan.
I truly don't get the point
Submitted by Gå ner i vikt snabbt (no verificado) on Jue, 04/28/2011 - 9:18amI truly don't get the point with war. Feels like USA has been in war every year since the second word war and for what? It's a shame that people all over the world continue to fight and kill each others instead of unite and make the world a better place.
