End Our Wars and Occupations

It's time to end America's wars and occupations. If the past 10 years wasn't lesson enough let me tell you. Aggression only breeds more aggression. Our escapades into Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Libya, and god knows where else has only served to undermine everything this country presumes to hold dear. It has only served to further destabilize the countries we've tried to help as well as our own. You can't force people to democratize, nor is it behooving to indulge the defense contractors. Instead we should interact with trade and communication, not bombs and dictated nation building. We are sowing seeds of suffering with these military actions. It is not worth whatever geopolitical reasons there might be for these conflicts. You should end these wars right away.
