The UN has recently announced that they are decreasing the size of their staff in Kabul, Afghanistan. They announced that they will be opening a new hub in Dubai. This decision follows the recent Taliban attack on a Kabul guesthouse, which was used by UN staff. 5 out of the 9 people killed in that attack were working with the UN.
Point this out to the politicans and waraholics who can't wait to send more troops to Afghanistan. Point this out to those who want to send OTHER people's loved ones to war but wouldn't think of sending THEIR loved ones.
