New Website Urges President Obama to End His War in Afghanistan
Nonpartisan website, ObamaEndYourWar.com, urges Americans to drive with their headlights on during the day to show President Obama his way out of Afghanistan War.
BOCA RATON, FL, March 30, 2011
A registered Republican that voted for President Barack Obama announces the launch of www.ObamaEndYourWar.com. The nonpartisan website is dedicated to ending the U.S. military involvement in Afghanistan. Americans are urged to drive with their headlights on during the day to illuminate a bright pathway for President Obama to find his way out of Afghanistan.ObamaEndYourWar.com will serve to focus public attention on the 10 year old war. The call to action, driving with your headlights on during the day, gives Americans a simple method to express their opposition to continuing the war. According to the website, many compelling reasons have been overshadowed by other world events.
The China Solution:
The website offers a new exit strategy for the U.S. to leave Afghanistan entitled The China Solution. According to a U.S. Government report published in the NY Times, "The United States has discovered nearly $1 trillion in untapped mineral deposits in Afghanistan, far beyond any previously known reserves and enough to fundamentally alter the Afghan economy and perhaps the Afghan war itself, according to senior American government officials."
"There is stunning potential here," Gen. David H. Petraeus, commander of the United States Central Command, said in an interview on Saturday. "There are a lot of ifs, of course, but I think potentially it is hugely significant."
The website founder, Greg Washio, comments, "The discovery presents a historic opportunity for China and Afghanistan to negotiate a long term security and development treaty. China has the military, capital and mining expertise to help Afghans rebuild their nation. In exchange for the minerals rights, China would rebuild infrastructure and a new railroad system to ship the minerals. They would also eradicate the opium crop to avoid a heroin epidemic in China. Opium growers would get jobs in mining or participate in other areas of the expected economic boom."
He argues that "China is in a much better position to help Afghanistan than the U.S. China has close proximity, a huge army with non-Christian solders and can earn a reasonable profit for their effort."
ObamaEndYourWar.com asks for volunteers and contains a blog where others can share views and ideas. Pages provide information about the history of Afghanistan, opium production and related topics.
Greg Washio commissioned an art poster to support the effort. The colorful poster features President Obama in the foreground with U.S. troops, a burned-out village and the Afghan mountains in the background.
