Afghanistan war

Sometimes we Germans have strange fits. That satisfaction with the work of black-yellow government deep in the cellar with only 12 percent, may not surprise, given the savings unabashed attacks. 86 percent of Germans are - according to ARD Germany EXTRA trend - not satisfied with the work of the CDU and FDP. Personnel is seen chancellor and CDU leader Angela Merkel only in seventh place. At the top of the popularity list is Defense Minister Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg (CSU). With his work according to the survey 68 percent are satisfied.
strange! For over three quarters of the population - say stable for months consistent poll numbers - do not want the army to withdraw immediately from the Afghanistan war, the Guttenberg whether his office is responsible prevail.
have the beginning of the week, the major German peace organizations made a joint appeal "end the war in Afghanistan - civilian help," presented. (ND) reported The appeal contains three elements: the army must stop all fighting immediately begin withdrawing its troops and use the freed up funds to improve the living conditions of the Afghan population.
The peace movement hopes that with this appeal that the debate about the German mission in Afghanistan in all social sectors have been taken and find broad support of the protest. Citizens of all layers are addressed. Nationwide. And directly via the Internet.
support for the appeal may be followed by various motives. It may arise from the realization that the military does not provide a solution to social issues. You can define different development aid than the federal government or the military kept short in the face of tight budgets do. Others may want to protect from all private, family reasons, soldiers serving in the armed forces and not in a winnable war to be sent.
The peace groups nationwide in the coming weeks, petitions . Interpret ND support the collection of signatures, among other things with the one shown here (or on the website) form. It can easily be put in an envelope and send. And of course, the lists also the ND-press festival next weekend will be handed out in Berlin's cultural brewing for signature.
