Terror? Troops? Afaghanistan? Iraq?
President Obama has not been in office a 100 days yet and is already putting various plans into motion. For years Pakistanis and Afghans -- particularly the Pashtuns living along the border -- have been looking for their lives to improve, their children's education to increase and their vision of the future to change.
And so they latched onto Obama's call today for a tripling of economic aid to Pakistan.
"A campaign against extremism will not succeed with bullets or bombs alone," Obama said. "Al Qaeda offers the people of Pakistan nothing but destruction. We stand for something different."
I have mixed emotions about the war, terriorism, and the decsions Obama is making about them. I just want the troops to return hime safely I have numerous friends that are already in both Iraq and Afganistan and one that is getting ready to be deployed with this new goal.
