About WarLights Hundreds of thousands of America ’s young men and women are living in remote outposts across Iraq and Afghanistan , working daily to improve the lives of the local inhabitants, fighting to win the battle of the hearts and minds of the people, against the terror tactics and propaganda of al-Qaeda and the Taliban. This is a different type of war than most prepared and trained for – they are now employing ‘soft power’ instead of military might, and we have to help them, because what they are trying to show in their dedication and tenacity, by giving their blood, sweat and tears, and all too frequently, their lives, is that we, the American people, actually care about the citizens of Iraq and Afghanistan. We need to demonstrate that the American people, not a political administration or a government bureaucracy – individual American citizens, actually do care about the people of Iraq and Afghanistan .
