GET OUT OF AFGHANISTAN AND IRAQ NOW

I was mad at Obama when he said that he would send more troops to Iraq.  Everyone should know by now that no one can win in that country.  Britain, and Russia both had to retreat in defeat.  Win what?
People have to study their history.   When the people of Afghanistan decide that they want a change, then change will come to their country.  I feel that people decide their fate.  I do not want to send my former students to the mountains of Iraq or Afghanistan looking for what and who.  Obama does not have a clear reason for going into that country.  Get out!  Let them decide.   I had to think of Islamic extremists running their country.  But who am I or Carlos to decide?  It is a no win situation  cut our losses and retreat.  I certainly do not want to risk  young people's lives anymore or the lives of the people.  I don't think that their lives are being made better by the presence of foreign troops.  Just ask the people of Iraq.  But who asked me?
