Harley (In response to A Resolution for Afghanistan)

Sadly I'm feeling some touches of Vietnam here. There doesn't seem to be any clear winner here and everybody is losing troops and citizens and money. I don't think that there is a black and white way to go about this. America cannot pull all our troops immediately from Afghanistan because it would topple some of the structure we've managed to build there. However, we cannot keep supplying troops and troops and troops. Also we are in our own little economic crisis here and we cannot financially afford to keep this up. Another major problem (or so I believe) that America faces in the conflict with Afghanistan is where does this end? Afghanistan? Iraq? Iran? Most of the mid-East countries are in complete turmoil and defy most American beliefs (government, religion, etc.) However, if nobody takes action is the mid-East going to turn out like many of the African nations where nobody controls anything but everybody wants control over everything?! This is truly a predicament!
