Anti-War Sentiment Is Growing In The U.S.

We have known for a while now that the American people are getting tired of the war in Afghanistan. For several months polls have shown that the people want an end to the war that has gone on for more than ten years -- and recent polls have shown they want that withdrawal now, not in the future. And that anti-war sentiment just keeps growing in the face of recent events in Afghanistan -- none of which have been good.

A recent poll by CNN/ORC International (taken on March 24th and 25th with a 3 point margin of error) verifies this. Look at these results of the poll:

DO YOU FAVOR OR OPPOSE THE AFGHAN WAR?
Favor...............25%
Oppose...............72%
Don't know...............3%

WHEN SHOULD THE U.S. WITHDRAW ALL TROOPS?
Earlier than 2014...............55%
Remove all in 2014...............22%
Beyond 2014...............22%
Don't know...............1%

IS THE UNITED STATES WINNING THE AFGHAN WAR?
Winning...............34%
Not winning...............61%
Don't know...............5%

This ridiculous and un-winnable war no longer has the support of most Americans. It is time to withdraw ALL of our troops.
