Action Alert: Afghan youth denied U.S. visa
The Fellowship of Reconciliation was deeply saddened to receive the following information today from peace colleagues in Afghanistan. We ask our supporters to take action to respond to a visa denial just issued by the U.S. State Department.
Hearts and Minds
“What I’m really telling people is the greatest risk we can accept is to lose the support of the people here [in Afghanistan],” said U.S. Gen. Stanley McChrystal, in a September 2009 interview aired on CBS’s “60 Minutes” program. “If the people are against us, we cannot be successful. If the people view us as occupiers and the enemy, we can’t be successful and our casualties will go up dramatically.”
