What are your views on the ongoing war in Afghanistan?

Jerry Morton, Colfax

“I think we should blow it off the map.”

Carl Ogren, Colfax

“I don’t know how we can dramatically change an entire country’s system from a tribal to a democratic government. I’d like to see us out of there as soon as possible.”

Larry Harris, Colfax

“I think we’re in it. And it’s difficult, but I think we have to be in it for the long haul and support our troops.”

Don Kackman, Colfax

“Bush got us in and I think it’s time to get out.”

Martin Marler, Colfax

“I’m for freedom for all people. This is very costly for us to achieve freedom for the people of Afghanistan. At this point I wish we were out of Iraq and Afghanistan.”
