"Sending more U.S. troops to Afghanistan isn't going to make Americans safer, and it isn't going to help the people of Afghanistan.  Instead of sending more troops, we need to establish an exit strategy for our troops, and shift our resources in Afghanistan from war to political reconciliation, reconstruction and development. The only difference between reconciliation now and reconciliation later is the number of additional US military and Afghan civilian deaths and injuries that will happen if reconciliation is delayed."  (Robert Naiman, Just Foreign Policy).
