Not One More American Life Should Be Expended for Afghanistan

Don't tell John McCain who, in the campaign of 2008, not only told Pennsylvanians in the Mon Valley that "those jobs are never coming back" but also answered a question at a debate by saying our forces might be in Afghanistan and Iraq for a hundred years.

But if it isn't worth it, how can this be a good idea, either?
