Spencer traveling to Afghanistan

From Selden Spencer's website...

I have been presented with an opportunity to explore America's place in the world post-9/11. On August 24, I will travel to Afghanistan to provide medical assistance through an organization for physicians called Northwest Medical Teams. This trip focuses on what my campaign is about: developing a new vision for America. I want to bring this country back to the greatness the world once admired and respected.

Under George W. Bush and his Republican Rubber Stamp Congress, we are losing our position of leadership in the world. Our military is bogged down in a civil war in Iraq that ties up our resources, and occupation of Muslim land fuels the flames of hatred. Although all eyes are affixed on the debacle in Iraq, Afghanistan presents the long-term perils and opportunities in our most important war, the global fight against terrorism.
