During each of 15 trips to Afghanistan, Kathy Kelly, as an invited guest of the Afghan Peace Volunteers, has lived alongside ordinary Afghan people in a working class neighborhood in Kabul.
She and her companions in Voices for Creative Nonviolence believe that "where you stand determines what you see."
They are resolved not to let war sever the bonds of friendship between them and Afghan people whom
they've grown to know through successive delegations. Kelly and her companions insist that the U.S.
hasn't waged a "humanitarian war" or a "war of necessity" in Afghanistan.
They also believe that maintaining special operations forces and drone warfare in Afghanistan will prolong and exacerbate the war.
