Iraq vs. Afghan withdrawal
"President Bush approved 8,200 more U.S. troops for Iraq and Afghanistan on top of reinforcements already ordered to those two countries, the White House said Saturday, a move that comes amid a fiery debate in Washington over the Iraq war." [1]
Why aren't people demanding that the U.S. exit Afghanistan like they are Iraq? It seems like many of the same objections would apply to both situations. Death and injury to American soldiers, imposing America's system of government on another country, the length of time, the expense. Where's the fiery debate over the Afghan war, or any debate, for that matter?
