VS steunde groeperingen in Afghanistan toen die in oorlog was met Rusland.

nu zit er VS er zelf in Afghanistan.

VS geeft wapens aan Saddam toen Irak oorlog had tegen Iran.

Vs zit er nu zelf in Irak.


hoezo hypocriet...

Mja.. alleen Afghanistan was nooit in oorlog met de Sovjetunie.
De Russen kwamen daar op uitdrukkelijk verzoek van de Afghaanse regering!

De paranoide houding van de VS zorgt ervoor dat bondegenoten na verloop van tijd plotseling als vijand worden beschouwd. Dat leidt vaak tot een oorlog tegen die vroegere bondgenoot. Wanneer is Europa aan de beurt, vraag ik mij af.

Afghanistan, Another Untold Story, by Michael Parenti

''While claiming to be fighting terrorism, US leaders have found other compelling but less advertised reasons for plunging deeper into Afghanistan. The Central Asian region is rich in oil and gas reserves. A decade before 9/11, Time magazine (18 March 1991) reported that US policy elites were contemplating a military presence in Central Asia. The discovery of vast oil and gas reserves in Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan provided the lure, while the dissolution of the USSR removed the one major barrier against pursuing an aggressive interventionist policy in that part of the world''

Amerika bewijst keer op keer dat ze zich dingen aanmatigen die ze niet aankunnen: de wereld-vrede (ha ha) , de wereld-economie (=zakken vullen) , de wereld-cultuur (cultuur zegt U, Hollywood bedoelt u?). En de Nederlandse regering hobbelt er stomweg achteraan. Het word tijd dat Europa ( of misschien China) die taken gaat overnemen en dat Amerika terug in zijn hok gestuurd wordt, waar het zich moet koest houden en diep moet schamen

De slachtoffers van de oorlog

De onnauwkeurigheid van de bombardementen en het voorbijgaan aan de waarde van Afghaanse levens.

Only one dollar is officially spent in “reconstruction” for every ten dollars spent on achieving U.S. geo-political aims.

US/NATO bombs kill about ten times more Afghan civilians with a ton of our “precision” bombs than we killed Serbs in 1999.

U.S human rights lawyers charged on July 20, 2008, that US military prisons are "legal black holes" and that force is employed to "shut people up" about activities in Iraq and Afghanistan. "Many people in Afghanistan and in Iraq who have been targeted for detention are local journalists covering the conflict in their own country," said another prominent US human rights lawyer, Barbara J. Olshansky.

The mainstream U.S. corporate media led by Fox News largely has sought to present the Afghan invasion as a simple war of good versus evil. (24) Texts or images which might have raised questions have been censored.

"……..better stand clear and fire away. Given this implicit decision, the slaughter of innocent people, as a statistical eventuality is not an accident but a priority -- in which Afghan civilian casualties are substituted for American military casualties."

En hoe vaak is dit verhaal langsgekomen in de mainstream media?
