She seems like a very intelligent women and making a valid political point of view, it is rather a tasteless way to show it at a time like that but that's point scoring for you.
I don't particularly agree with the waste of Soldiers lives and Money that the Afghan war is costing us either. Its Vietnam mk2 and a total lose - lose situation.

you'll be amazed,
Laos was always a neutral place but because it was between the 2 fighting countries during the vietnam war and because planes can't land when still armed with bombs Laos gets bombed to the point that the entire country was decimated to the ground. and the rest of the world didn't even know it was going on, soldiers were been silenced by their leaders and thus it got dragged into the war by the cia, villages were gettin supplied american arms at 1 end and the americans were also supplying other parts with soviet arms and taught how to fly planes etc before they even knew what cars were.
by the time the vietnam war was nearly over Laos was getting bombed every 8 seconds or minutes... can't remember which it was now, but never the less ... they were gettin dragged into the war by the C.I.A and a lot of it stemmed over the Air America program with the C.I.A smuggling heroin etc into the states and other places, and it is fact that there was more troops hooked on heroin than anywhere else in the united states and a few other countries put together.....
Wars serve nothing but a few ppl's agend'a on how to maintain control/power over the rest....
Look at the terrorism thats gone on in the states, a lot of it is actually planned and carried out thru the leaders just so they can turn to the public and say there's terror and we will clamp down on it just so they can strip more rights from the public as it is getting larger and larger and the leaders foresee that it will get out of their hands to be able to control such vast amounts of ppl without stripping them of their rights and the only way ppl lay their rights down is without a fight is if it is justified.....
PPL WAKE UP YOU ARE BEEN LIED TO....
I feel srry for the poor jar heads that get ordered to go fight this and that country under false pretences and come home half shot to hell cos the other side is been lied to just the same...
It's all a big farce just to have everyone look at one hand while they control the population in the other
