YANKEE COME HOME

The six days of rioting by Afghans over the burning of Korans by the American army of conquest should convince America once and for all to exit Afghanistan forthwith.

The vast majority of Americans have believed that for years now but the war grinds on well into its eleventh year due to the neocons and the war mongers and the war profiteers and the sociopaths who feed off our endless militarism. They don't care a whit about the oceans of blood spilled and the trillions of dollars squandered. But Afghanistan became a prize and endless war became a way of life for our Masters of War who have made America reviled around the world for its senseless and reckless and murderous wars. Time to declare defeat and leave.
