Send Teachers, not Troops Mr. President - an Afghan woman writes

clipped from www.awwproject.org Dear President Obama We want to live without fear. I will never forget this war, what we have lost and how our lives have been destroyed as a result of an American policy that doesn’t concern itself with innocent people. After you were elected, we hoped that everything would be all right. But it is worse than before. My wish, President Obama, is to make Afghanistan independent and the people hard-working and able to walk on the road without fear.  To be able to delete the word of “poorest” when describing my country. So send your people, if you must. But send them to inspire, and to teach in peace. By Shogofa
