I was very interested in the piece we read in class about Code Pink's visit to Afghanistan. I think a lot of the time people will just say things like "we should get the hell out of there" or "It's all Bush's fault" like it is something that could be easily fixed. Even I have said things like this but the fact of the matter is there is no Win-Win situation. Now the responsibility is fallen on Obama and I hear the same comments that were directed at Bush just a few months ago. The Code Pink blog helped me realize that the American people cannot pass judgement on the situation because they have not been there and experienced firsthand the situations in Afghanistan. If the experience could change the hearts of some of the most extreme people what would it do to a person with balanced views? The blog was very thought provoking and I would like to read more on their trip.
