Against all reason and The Afghan Debacle Like the chaotic flight of the U.S. Army from Vietnam in 1975, the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021 highlights the failure of the geopolitically based "war and nation-building concept" of the U.S. and NATO countries. The assumption, questionable from the outset, that it would be possible to impose the so-called "Western value system" on a country in which 50 languages are spoken....

Imminent Collapse of U.S. Imperial project Afghanistan the 40+ year U.S. Imperial project in Afghanistan(started by the Carter administration back in 1979, with Uncle Sam's backing of Usama binLaden--UBL--and his band of jihadists) is now collapsing like a house of cards, sending shock waves in Washington and on the Public airwaves, especially in the NeoLiberal "Corprorate-bin-Laden" media. The rush is on to explain away the bloody hands of Uncle Sam in creating and maintaining the myth that the U.S. went in with good intentions to help "democra...

Doctors without Borders Afghan Hospital Singled Out for Attack 5 Times Nazi USA's military made 5 passes over the Doctors without Borders (MSF in French) hospital in Kunduz, Afghanistan and bombed only the hospital, nothing else, despite the fact that huge flags on its roof identified it as a hospital. IT WAS A DELIBERATE ATTACK, and when it comes to the US military, IT IS ALWAYS A DELIBERATE ATTACK. If you think you can stand on the streets of San Francisco and applaud the Navy's Blue Death as it roars illegally low over our heads, wasting tax dollars and oil...

Remake the world The U.S. has also slain many in Afghanistan, both those called the Taliban and those whom they had mistaken for Taliban and terrorists. It made little difference to the U.S., for they were convinced of the righteousness of their cause and shrugged off the many innocents who died as “mistakes that happen.” After all, Afghans had been killing each other for hundreds of years, so what was a few more—especially since the U.S. had come to bring them “liberty.”...

Peace and refuge Poor Afghanistan has really suffered, and it’s now suffering worse than ever. The poor, the women, children, and old folks suffer the most because they have so little already and are so needy, so often they don’t survive. And the men go off to fight and often they don’t make it either. War is horrible...
