Why are we still there?????? It is time to take a serious look at our involvement there. Every day there are news reports about more deaths. Every night on the TV are photos of death and destruction. Why are we still there? The land is too large to secure all of it. The criminals causing this damage can roam anywhere, and we can't possibly police the whole place. Why are we still there? We occupy a land we had to take by force. Yet it causes us nothing but trouble. Why are we still there? Their government is unstable, and in the process of changing. Why are we still there? Refugees flee by the thousands driven from their homes, and we can't even secure the borders. Why are we still there? And it will cost billions to rebuild, which we can't afford. It is clear. We must abandon California.
