The leaders of Germany, Britain, and France must speak out about the futility of another conflagration in the MIddle East and tell America that it will not be a party to such a foolhardy action. Americans must wake up and see where this is heading and take action before it is too late.
I believe that a vast majority of historians would disagree and attribute the harsh treatment and humiliating conditions imposed on Germany after World War I as a major factor contributing to the rise of Hitler and World War II.
I detest war but the mistakes of history are too often repeated. I am simply proposing that a full consideration of the consequences must be considered.
It has been a long standing policy of the United States not to bend to the demands of terrorists. There have been prisoner exchanges in time of conventional war, however this war is certainly not conventional. The Haqqani network is a ruthless mob of murderers given safe haven by a misguided Pakistani military in North Waziristan from where they invade a neighboring state, kill Americans and Afghanis alike, and plot the overthrow of the Afghan state. They are a by product of American foreign policy and cold war mentality enabled by our support during the Soviet occupation and then allowed to prosper in the reign of the Taliban. The Haqqanis seek profit from anarchy,war and mayhem. Their equivalent in American society is the gang and these gangbangers and their Pakistani supporters should be condemned internationally by the world not rewarded for their atrocities.
11.When sending soldiers to war equip them with proper life saving equipment such as body armor and mwrap for their vehicles.
12. End the use of chemicals like agent orange and eliminate the use of depleted uranium and white phosphorus that has caused such irreparable harm.
13. Sign the convention banning the indiscriminant use of land mines which has maimed friend and foe alike.
14.Follow the Constitution and require Congress to debate, deliberate, and cast a vote before sending soldiers to fight and die endlessly in multiple tours in foreign lands for undefined purposes and without an exit strategy.
