According to this article NATO and the United Nation Officials they are asking for more international troops to be place in Afghanistan. President Obama has yet made a decision.The troops are needed to eliminate terrorist threats by the Taliban and another part is to protect people in the local communities of Afghan. I understand that this is a nation to protect and serve, but under the circumstance that are own country in a recession, I disagree with NATO and United Nation Officials. I personally don't think more money should be wasted on this "war". This has being taking place for nine years. I think Obama should just end this war and bring all the troops home. Why should the war continue when they don't know the reason why their fighting the war in the first place. Really, I think we have our own war going on in America that needs a lot of attention. We have a lot of people who is homeless and losing their jobs everday. I think this was a very important article and a very important issues that should have been addressed, because Americans need to know where taxes payer money is being distribe.
