- This is the other failed neo con war for oil. These people kicked the Soviets the heck out and we are next. We will never win anything there or in Iraq, nor do we deserve to.

Following the events of 9/11/01, Taliban officials offered to hand over CIA asset, Osama bin Laden, to face charges. Their only condition was that U.S. officials present evidence of Osama''s involvement in these attacks. The Bush regime declined, because they had no such evidence, and because they intended to attack the people of Afghanistan in any case.
Knowing that massive casualties in Afghanistan would sap U.S. public support for the invasion, the Bush regime chose to use the warlords of the region as proxy fighters. Large rewards offered by the U.S. led to innocent people being handed over to be tortured by U.S. agents in Afghanistan, Guantanimo Bay, and elsewhere.
Thanks to the ivasion, Afghanistan is now the center of global opium production, and former Unocal executive, Hamid Karzai, has been installed as the puppet ruler of the country.
No matter how many soldiers are killed and maimed in Afghanistan, no matter how many Afghan wedding parties are bombed by U.S. planes, no matter how many civilians are tortured and slaughtered by U.S. agents, and despite the futility and pointlessness of this self defeating military misadventure, many Americans continue to champion the war of aggression against Afghanistan as a noble cause. Billions upon billions of dollars in U.S. treasure continue to be transferred to war profiteers and druglords as a result, while to blood of U.S. soldiers continues to be needlessly spilled.- Reply to this comment
Many cite Afghanistan as the gravestone of the former Soviet Union- the final nail in the coffin, as they were ultimately forced to withdraw, unable to successfully maintain a military occupation of the country. The U.S. now not only faces a humiliating military defeat in Afghanistan, but a crippling multi-tiered defeat in Iraq, on the economic, military, and moral fronts.
It appears that many of my fellow Americans still think that waging wars of aggression is an intelligent and effective way of solving problems, and that it is possible to introduce democracy at the point of a gun. Most Americans, of course, do not share in the sacrifices and costs of pursuing such a policy, as we still have an all-volunteer military, for the most part, and since we are borrowing the money from countries like China to finance the shameful debacle. The bill has yet to be paid, and we are already straining just to pay the interest.
Maybe one day, Americans will wake up en mass, and realize that our greatest enemies are the religious and business interests that have infested our system, State-sanctioned terrorist organizations like the CIA and the Mossad, our own comfort and docility, and our lack of courage to demand something better.
That day could be today.- Reply to this comment
