Many Americans have a sick and twisted love of war as a blood sport, and we have tremendous national pride in our ability to kill and destroy better than anyone else. The Afghan war is like a football game for Barack Obama, and he does not want to lose the big game that he has invested so much of his ego in expanding. The United States, as the Roman Empire, has military bases all over the world, and we have deluded ourselves into thinking that we own the world. Like Rome we will fail and fall, because in provable fact we are just another nation, not God, and our aggressive militarism is a luxury we can no longer afford.
The United States is collapsing under the weight of its own corruption and foolish policies. We need better leadership than Barack Obama can give us, and Democrats should not support Obama's destructive schemes just because Obama is a fellow Democrat. If even conservatives like George Will, Patrick Buchanan, and Pat Robertson oppose Obama's pointless war, then certainly Democratic leaders should be able to muster the courage to vote against funding Obama's ego driven war in Afghanistan.
