Did anyone actually say that? Or is that just your inference? Gael is right, we can not ignore the consequences of war. As the Afghans told Code Pink, it would be chaos if Americans left. I'm sure that is one of the consequences you are worried about, Gael. Do you honestly think peace will result if the world allows sexist, violent ideology to flourish?

We cannot wage wars and fund occupations and ignore the consequences. Tell your Representative to sign on to H.R. 3699 - to prohibit funding for any increase in US troops in Afghanistan. Pass it NOW! We want a peace surge! Grateful for your witnessing in Afghanistan. We cannot wage wars and fund occupations and ignore the consequences.
