I'm in Afghanistan this week, talking with advocates for peace and victims of the longest U.S. war. You can find Afghans who don't want the United States military to leave immediately, but you're hard pressed to find anyone who believes our military is here with a humanitarian motivation. Join our call for a no-fly zone now.
One reason people doubt the U.S. government's noble motives is the constant killing of innocent civilians, many of them from the air. The president of Afghanistan has asked U.S. forces to stop all operations that cause civilian fatalities. What Afghanistan urgently requires, as a first step, is a No-Fly Zone.One reason people doubt the U.S. government's noble motives is the constant killing of innocent civilians, many of them from the air.

When Afghan people look at the sky, they shouldn't see drones and other aircraft on missions of death.
Please sign a request for a No-Fly Zone in Afghanistan, which we will deliver to the U.N. Security Council, the NATO headquarters in Brussels and the White House.
