A Global Demand to 35 Governments: Get Your Troops Out of Afghanistan / A Thank You to 6 That Already Have
The governments of Albania, Armenia, Australia, Austria, Azerbaijan,
Belgium, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia,
Finland, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania,
Luxembourg, Mongolia, Netherlands, North Macedonia, Norway, Poland,
Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Turkey, Ukraine,
UK, and US all still have troops in Afghanistan and
need to remove them. These troops range in number from Slovenia's 6 to
the United States' 2,500. Most countries have fewer that 100. Apart from
the United States, only Germany has over 1,000. Only five other
countries have more than 300.
Governments that used to have troops
in this war but have removed them include New Zealand, France, Jordan,
Croatia, Ireland, and Canada.
We plan to deliver a big THANK-YOU
to every government that removes all of its troops from Afghanistan,
along with the names and comments of every signer of this petition.

The
U.S. government is the ring-leader, and the bulk of its killing is done
from the air, but — given the deficiency in democracy in the U.S.
government, which is now on its third president who promised to end the
war but hasn't — it is critical that other governments withdraw their
troops. Those troops, present in token numbers, are there to legitimize
behavior that could otherwise be recognized as lawless and outrageous. A
government lacking the courage to reject U.S. pressure has no business
sending any number of its residents to kill or risk dying in a U.S./NATO war.
This petition will be signed by people in each nation involved in the war, including the nation of Afghanistan.
Please sign the petition, add comments if you have anything to add, and share with others.
