President Obama escalated the war in Afghanistan just days before accepting the Nobel Peace Prize

The escalation of the war in Afghanistan will mean more death and destruction in that already hard-hit and long-suffering country.  It will cost our country more of its sons and daughters as well as costing a huge amount of money for a highly uncertain outcome.  If you believe that violence only encourages and increases violence and suffering, or if you believe that the American military should not be wreaking its havoc to prop up the corrupt and illegitimate Kharzai government, or if for whatever other reason you do not support the escalation, there is a webpage called ReThink Afghanistan that offers information, videos, a petition to sign asking congress not to fund the escalation, and links to other organizations working to end the war in Afghanistan.  The page is produced by an organization called Brave New Foundation  which is a 501(c)(3)  organization.
