Nothing changes

Soon we will send soldiers to Afghanistan who weren't even born yet on September 11, 2001. We've spent $5 trillion dollars on wars since 9/11. And now some of the same people that got us into Iraq are trying to start a war with Iran. We must end our endless wars.




And yet the war drags on.  Day after day.  And 'brave' people like Senator Tammy Duckworth insist that the war needs to continue. 

XINHUA reports, "An Iraqi army officer was killed and three others were wounded on Sunday in a clash with Islamic State (IS) militants in Iraq's western province of Anbar, a security officer said."

If you've missed it, that's another 'reason' the US 'has to' stay in Iraq: ISIS.

ISIS won't be vanished by fighting.  The only thing that will end ISIS is addressing the issues that allowed the group to rise in Iraq in the first place.  No one wants to do that.  There was a time when Barack Obama pretended that had to be done.  He was just pretending.

These days, they don't even bother to pretend.

The US-installed Iraqi government never addresses any real issue and yet US troops have to stay there? 

We need new leaders. 

Anyone running for the Democratic Party's presidential nomination that isn't raising the issue of these never-ending wars is not a real candidate.
