In Humanities class we learned that we as human do things such as draw, sing, smoke, drink alcohol, take drugs, etc because they give us pleasure. But my question is " Who is getting any pleasure from war?". War has only brought destruction to the lives of families of the people that have died. For example take the war in Afghanistan. So many Americans have died protecting this country, and we show our remorse to their families by giving money to those that have lost someone. I think that money isn't gonna bring back a father or a husband. I don't think money is gonna take away the pain that people feel everyday for their lost ones. But what i think will take some of that pain away is if the war ends, and all of the soldiers come back to their loved once.

The site that i have posted up shows how many soldiers have died and have been injured(left side) this couple days alone. It is also ironic how they ask for donations. I do suppose that the money can help with the billing, but it will not help with the pain.
Although the following article shows that some soldiers have come home, it is still not good enough untill all the other come home. I am on Barack Obama's side, and i thing hes doing a pretty good job with this issue that consure alot of people.
