Afghanistan War Poll: 60 Percent Of Americans Think It's 'Not Worth Fighting'

The test for "who supports, or who does not support" these un-necessa­­ry wars, we the US are engaged in, is simple -- just one question is required:

Would you send your child to the war front in any of these 2 war fronts?

I would be surprised if 4 percent (tops) of the American public would say: "Yeah send mine!" And I am dating this reading back to when we invaded! Americans may appear dumb and clueless but we're not! Hypocrites yes, not fools!”

War has never been a progressiv­e or a conservati­ve ideal!
Anyone who calls themselves a progressiv­e or a conservati­ve and agrees with false
"undeclare­d wars", is not only lying to themselves but they have no idea what the definition­s are!
It's sad to see so many DNC members call themselves "progressi­ves" and GOP members call themselves "conservat­ive" and still support the "war on terror"! They say they are looking for "weapons of mass destructio­n". It's more like the "War on Logic" with "Weapons of Mass Misinforma­tion". We need to bring our men and women home. We need to stop wasting our money, blood and our futures, NOW!

Considerin­g the precarious­ness of our economy, no war is worth fighting. On second thought, no war is worth fighting -- what about creating a Department of Peace -- revamp our war machine into a Pentagon for Peace? How about them apples?

did they question heroin addicts for this poll... they like Afghanista­n.

Count me as one who thinks the WAR is worthless for America!

Many Americans are not aware of Israel as being a large influencin­­g factor on the US Mideast foreign policy. The current war(s) should have been an intel war after the initial invasion and clean up in Afghanista­­­n. Al Qaeda never had the capability to come over here en masse post 9/11. How would they have gotten here and then armed themselves once here? If a few Al Qaeda were capable of something as damaging as 9/11, does anyone really think they would stay over there digging holes for IED's, firing an occasional RPG and then strapping on a suicide vest? The entire world was united against Al Qaeda when we first went into Afghanista­­­n and we threw it all away with the falsely premised excursion into Iraq for the sake of Israel's security "concerns"­­­. I emphasize concerns because the concern proved to be an unfounded fear. It was merely the thought that Saddam "might" do something one day in the future against Israel.

If you read this article keep in mind that the "think tanks" major concern is pro Israel.

This is why a nation that goes to war commits itself in its entirety and not just its military. People hear beats about war and the politicans and media pumps them up and they get so excited for it because they know they will not have to make sacrifices or go. Then if it drags on they get bored with it and want everything to stop. The only ones who suffer are the soliders and their families. I've fought in three wars for this country, all undeclared­, which is reason why my son or daughter will never serve. Bring back the draft, raise taxes to fund it and you will see an end to our "undeclare­d" wars.

Once we figured out that Osama Bin Laden was no longer in Afghanista­n, we should have left. We are wasting billions of dollars there a week and our servicemem­bers are being maimed or killed trying to support a corrupt, unstable government­.

Bring our troops home now and end this farce once and for all.

Of COURSE it wasn't worth fighting, and hasn't been since Bush gave up on the original mission, finding Osama bin Laden. Once he gave up on bin Laden, Bush should have removed the troops, but probably wanted to reinforce his (pseudo) macho image and so kept them in place. Meanwhile, hundreds of American troops have given their lives for a reason that no longer exists. I wish Obama would get ALL troops out of the Middle East TODAY. It has cost our country in lives, finances and internatio­nal reputation­. And WHY?

the public is usually a year or so behind any issue....t­he country should have been against the war when obama escalated the war ....the public should demand the end of the war....but the public doesn't care enough to make itself heard in washington or the oval office. so the war will drag on and on and more and more americans will die.....po­pular or not.

Was the war worth it?

Worth it?

Here's one considerat­ion relative to that question:

I got my calculator out and checked the databases on labor productivi­ty and the value of non wage human activities­, recovered a few figures on the value of property, especially abandoned property, checked on gas pipeline net present value, calculated it all out and then looked at a Visa ad and came to the conclusion that, indeed, life is priceless and the war was not worth it.
