Please consider issuing some sort of statement regarding US gov't
involvement in Afghanistan. It's becoming painfully obvious to
Americans (even ones who approved the occupation initially) that the
fiasco there is sliding toward the same sort of boondoggle the Soviets
got stuck in, and that American interventionism isn't helping
Americans. With Obama's recent statements about *increasing* troop
levels in Afghanistan, the LP has a wonderful opportunity to
differentiate ourselves from both the DP and RP and to assume a
leadership role in the pro-peace noninterventionism movement.

I have been disappointed in the LP's refusal to confront the
Afghanistan occupation head-on; now we have a perfect opportunity to
make such a confrontation a demonstration of how we differ from both
Republicans and Democrats. I hope that you will consider taking this
opportunity while Obama is still overseas and it could possibly get
more notice than in other contexts.

Thanks for your time and work!
