"Why are we still there?"
Sent via email from a friend in San Diego:


Happy Summer, Everybody!

Every day there are news reports about more deaths.
Every night on TV there are photos of death and
destruction. Why are we still there?

We occupied this land, which we had to take by force,
but it causes us nothing but trouble. Why are we still there?

Many of our children go there and never come back. Why
are we still there?

Their government was unstable, and they had loopy
leadership. Why are we still there?
Many of their people are uncivilized. Why are we still there?

The place is subject to natural disasters, which we
are supposed to bail them out of.
There are more than 1000 religious sects, which we do
not understand. Why are we still there?

Their folkways, foods and fads are unfathomable to
ordinary Americans. Why are we still there?
We can't even secure the borders. Why are we still
there?

They are billions of dollars in debt and it will cost
billions more to rebuild, which we can't afford. Why
are we still there?

It is becoming clear ... WE MUST PULL OUT OF CALIFORNIA
