Billions have been poured into Afghanistan, while The Taliban have been forced out of power and Osama bin Laden has been killed.

Since it started on September 17th, there have been arrests, the use of pepper spray by police, but the national and international demonstrations continue, as Occupy Wall Street activists keep growing in numbers and their chants are heard louder. Wall Street ways must STOP NOW!
These appear to be folks from different walks of life, who are also frustrated protesters speaking out against many wrongs. Economic inequality, corrupt government, greed, student debt, along with the obvious benefit of being at the media center of the universe, which is right here in New York City.
