What do you think about the troop surge into Afghanistan?
To me personally I think it is absolutely STUPID. I think the problems are:
1) Cost. We are in a recession and this will only make things worse and we will be further in debt.
2) Lives. We will suffer only more causalities as the war escalates.
3) Pointless in the long run. Although it may help stabilize the region for a bit, it won't be permanent. Afghanistan has been going in a downward spiral politically for quite some time. Eventually the nation will go into turmoil. All things are impermanent as the Buddha said.
So what do you think?
