A Surge in Diplomacy Not Violence

It's too easy to let up now and hope for the best. War in Afghanistan has not been the answer for more than a thousand years. We need to be sure it is not a base for training global terrorists and the best way to do that is for Afghans to be able to make a good living.
Sign below to tell Obama that we need a surge in diplomacy, not a surge in violence.

While we appreciate the steps Obama took during his first week in office to bring our country back into line with international treaties by moving to close Guantanamo, to reject the Military Commissions Act, and to end torture, he also authorized unmanned drone attacks in Pakistan, in direct contravention of international law, and an attack in Afghanistan that resulted in the deaths of many civilians.
