It's Harder To End Wars Than It Is To Begin Them

     America's longest war is coming to an end.  Almost 2200 Americans have been killed in this war, it's high time to bring all the solderers home.  President has said all combat missions in Afghanistan will end before the year is up, leaving 10,000 Americans in Afghanistan and by the end of 2015 less than 5000 will remain.  By the end of 2016 the only solderers remaining will be the one's guarding the United States Embassy in Kabul        Public support for the war has been low for some time.  As the war dragged on it became less and less clear why we were still there.  Crippling al-Qaeda  and helping Afghans to start building a democracy has  accomplished  America's mission so it's time to get the hell out of Dodge.
     Afghanistan will never be a perfect place and it's not America's responsibility to make it one.  All we can really do is wipe out a few terrorist or eliminate a  fascist  government who reeks murder and destruction on it's citizens then move on to the next screwed up place in the world.
