It is time to take a serious look at our involvement there.
Every day there are news reports about more deaths. Every
night on the TV are photos of death and destruction.
Why are we still there?

The land is too large to secure all of it. The bad people
causing this damage can roam anywhere, and we can't possibly
police the whole place.
Why are we still there?

causes us nothing but trouble.
Why are we still there?

Their government is unstable, and in the process of changing.
Why are we still there?

Why are we still there?

We can't even secure the borders. Why are we still there?

And to repeat: Every day we hear of more Americans killed
in this dangerous land.

It is clear. We must abandon California.
