A Time to Mourn - Time to Act.

clipped from docs.google.com The war in Afghanistan has claimed the life of the 1000th U.S. soldier.  The number of Afghans and Pakistanis killed is many times more and yet unknown.  We mourn the loss of life knowing that more violence will not bring peace. This war must end. By year's end, there will be 100,000 U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan.  At one million dollars per soldier for deployment, we will be spending in excess of $100 billion a year, on military solutions.
