Osama Bin Laden is gone.
War is still here.
We are still funding Al-Qaeda.

On October 7, 2001, the U.S. launched a military strike against Afghanistan. Now 17 years later, tens of thousands are dead, even more wounded, millions displaced, and more than $2,400 billion spent, this war — the longest war in U.S. history — shows no sign of ending.

We got together in New York City on the 17th anniversary of the start of Afghanistan war.
We the people in the U.S. and the world want peace.
We want to stop the terror!!!
War is the terror.
