Rather than do what former president Bush has been trying to do, focus mainly on ending terrorism in our country by sending troops into Afghanistan, Obama has been concentrating on our country more than other countries. He’s trying to prevent a depression, provide health care, and help stop global warming. Instead of focusing so heavily on war and trying to end terrorism like Bush was, Obama has just been trying to decrease terrorism by temporarily sending more troops to Afghanistan so that the Americans may eventually turn from the war. Obama is solely going after the terrorists that attacked us during 9/11 rather than expanding to war to unnecessary places.
While some people agree with what Obama is doing, an article at MSNBC disagrees. It declares that it is unnecessary to have 68,000 thousand troops sent over by the end of the year. Obama is trying to find all the al-Quaida leaders who might be hiding in Pakistan and borders of Afghanistan. Congress is trying to focus more on Pakistan since more al-Quaida leaders are believed to be residing there. Obama is not focusing enough on saving Afghanistan.
