"I do not ask for this support lightly. These are challenging times, and resources are stretched. But the American people must understand that this is a down payment on our own future."That was Barack Obama in a dramatic speech last night. The catch? He wasn't making a pitch for health care reform, heading off Republican and Blue Dog arguments at the pass. No, he was arguing for escalation in Afghanistan.The real down payment on America's future, of course, would be investing in the health of its citizens. Yet cost-cutting arguments are at the base of the Senate's debate over the health care bill that Harry Reid presented, and the bill threatens to get bogged down in grandstanding, egos, and fearmongering.Joining us to discuss the health care bill are Maggie Mahar, editor of Healthbeatblog.org and author of Money-Driven Medicine: The Real Reason Health Care Costs So Much , John Nichols of The Nation, Jonathan Cohn, senior editor at The New Republic and author of Sick: The Untold Story of America's Health Care Crisis---and the People Who Pay the Price , and Olga Pierce, lead health care reporter at ProPublica.Obama called the escalation an investment in America's future, but what about the Afghan people? Many of them want us out and want to solve their problems themselves. A few weeks back, Zoya, a member of the Foreign Affairs Committee of RAWA, joined us to talk about what would really be best for the women--and all the people--of Afghanistan. We bring you her comments again today, when they have new relevance. Obama's announcement of escalation in Afghanistan last night laid out a case for more troops that claimed to look at what is best for the US and for Afghan citizens. Brave New Films brings us messages for Obama from many Afghan citizens, who want a peaceful exit for US soldiers.Finally, fishing has historically been an important source of income and sustenance for the residents of the Gaza strip.
