AFGHANISTAN STATEMENT of the PEACE HOUSE OF OKLAHOMA CITY

BRING OUR TROOPS HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS

After eight (8) long years of war, we speak in unity: U.S. Military forces must be brought home.

Military victory appears unachievable, or at the very least unsustainable.

Our continued presence guarantees further escalation of long-standing anti-American sentiments.

A surge in U.S. troop numbers will generate dramatic increases of casualties of our troops and Afghani civilians.

We risk an even wider and deadlier regional conflict.

Reconstruction and stability should be initiated and sustained by international peace-keeping entities and non-governmental development organizations.

Urgent domestic budget priorities demand a redirection of our tax revenues from war in Afghanistan to meeting human needs at home. Thirteen million Americans are unemployed in this economic downturn.

Afghanis that have assisted the International Security Forces must be protected from being targeted for execution. Adequate measures must be taken to guarantee them evacuation and political asylum.

We petition Congress and the President to initiate withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan before the end of the year.

This Saturday, February 20th, begins the Year 2010
