An excellent piece on the war in Afghanistan and complaints about how economics are covered. In the war in Afghanistan: US troops are not losing, nor are they suffering enormous casualties. But they're paying an enormous price in money, manpower, time and effort to take ground. US troops successfully secured the Afghan city of Kandahar and more or less kicked the Taliban out, but it took 18,000 troops to do so. Kandahar is the Afghan city nearest to Quetta, Pakistan and thereby the one that's the easiest to supply. Every Afghan city that gets similarly secured and pacified is going to cost even more in resources.

Rally against war in Libya was carried out by Philly Against War. We assembled outside City Hall, facing to the West. Officially, the reason that the US intervened in the fighting in Libya was to protect the civilian population from Libya's Moammar Gadhafi (He's officially listed as the "Leader and Guide of the Revolution of Libya"). BTW, the US wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan have cost us about $4 triillion.
Philly Against War (PAW) questions that in our hand-out, suggesting that the collateral damage cause during the bombing campaign (The US also has Special Forces on the ground, but no organized units of troops) is so extensive that the US is not really protecting civilans in any event.
I am the Green Party candidate for the 188th district state assembly seat. I will be attending this event, and I have invited James Roebuck, my Democratic opponent, to attend as well.
While the US may be the world's single super power in military terms, it faces another super power: the voices of war-weary millions who detest violence and killing. In Afghanistan, in the United States, and among the populations of countries whose governments have joined the NATO coalition, millions of people are calling for an end to war in Afghanistan.
MARCH ON WASHINGTON Get on the PHILADELPHIA BUS TO DC! People from all over the country are organizing to converge on Washington, D.C., to demand the immediate and unconditional withdrawal of all U.S. and NATO forces from Afghanistan and Iraq. On Saturday, March 20, 2010, there will be a massive National March & Rally in D.C. Gather at 12 noon at the White House (Lafayette Park).
