Obama wants to send more troops to Afghanistan, which is in contradiction to what the US public wishes. But government doesn't care about its own population:
Among the US public, 59% oppose sending more troops. That includes 28% who want all US troops out and 21% supporting a partial US withdrawal. And 52% believe the war in Afghanistan has already turned into a Viet Nam-style quagmire.
Same thing in the UK, where 71% back a withdrawal within a year.
But Britain has 9,000 troops in Afghanistan and Brown has already agreed to send a further 500.
Malalai Joya also wants troops out.
