Why are we still there? (NSR)

This was forwarded to me today, thought you'd enjoy it.


Why are we still there?

It is time to take a serious look at our involvement there.

Every day there are news reports about more deaths. Every night
on the TV are photos of death and destruction. Why are we
still there?

The land is too large to secure all of it. The bad people
causing this damage can roam anywhere, and we can't possibly
police the whole place. Why are we still there?

We occupied this land, which we had to take by force, but it
causes us nothing but trouble. Why are we still there?

Their government is unstable, and in the process of changing.
Why are we still there?

Refugees are fleeing by the thousands, driven from their
homes. Why are we still there?

It will cost billions to rebuild, which we can't afford.
Why are we still there?

There are more than 1000 religious sects.

We can't even secure the borders. Why are we still there?

And to repeat. Every day we hear of more Americans killed
in this dangerous land.

It is clear! We must abandon California.

Huh,

I was almost sure this post was about powdermag.com.

My bad.

Hey, did you see the article in today's NYTimes about what the Mexicans still call "The Mutilation"? Basically we stole California, Arizona and New Mexico (and some would say Texas) in 1848 and for some reason they still are not cool with it.

On the bright side for them, I think they're taking it all back over.

History never stops.
