Readers of this blog will know that I am opposed to the war in Afghanistan. That is because I don't believe the goals of that war can be accomplished (elimination of the Taliban and terrorist activity in that area) -- no matter how long we continue to occupy that country. Several polls in the last few months have shown that a large and growing majority of the American people agree with me -- that the war should be ended as soon as possible.
That view has now been verified by a new poll. The recently released Rasmussen Poll says that two-thirds of Americans want the war over by summer of 2013, while less than a quarter of the population thinks the war should continue past that point. Here are the numbers:
AFGHAN WAR SHOULD END BY MIDDLE OF 2013
Yes...............67%
No...............22%
Not sure...............11%
