Change is needed

Real change is needed in our future.

It is not only our nation's economic situation that requires resolution and change, it is our foreign policy as well. When president elect Obama assumes the presidency I sincerely hope he does not make a colossal mistake by staying in either Iraq or Afghanistan. Both wars were a mistake from the beginning and are not winnable. The ethnic, tribal, and sectarian conflict coupled with a strong dislike for foreign interference throughout in the middle east preclude winning either war. There is some indication that Obama is planning to withdraw from Iraq but expand the Afghanistan occupation. I hope that he reconsiders this course of action. Real change is sorely needed both in our foreign policy and here at home, not just a change in administration.
