The US needs to stop trying to be the police of the world and withdraw our forces from the Middle East. The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have been the longest in our nations history and probably the least productive. These wars account for about 23% of our nations defict since 2003 and have cost the US 4-6 trillion. Our original goal in Afghanistan was to rid the country of the Taliban, not only have we not done this yet, but we never will. All we can do is try to distrupt the taliban, and we can only do this effectivley if we stay in Afghanistan forever. Afghanistan is a lost cause, the government and military are both corrput and the nations literacy rate is only 28% for men and 12% for women. We need to start worrying about our nations problems (which we have many) and not others.
