The latest massacre by US military personnel of innocent people in Afghanistan provides another demonstration as to why it is imperative that the American people stop deferring to the authority of the
Today, as Americans vote in their presidential election, and may well choose to install the anointed successor of warmonger Obama, the even more hawkish Hillary Clinton who has promised that on becoming president she will immediately escalate military action in Syria with the likely consequence of kicking off a global conflict, we learned that U.S. forces in Afghanistan have killed at least 30 civilians, many of whom were children. Another 25 people were wounded. Of course, this is on top of all people killed by those much vaunted American 'precision weapons' that can locate and destroy the only wedding party, funeral or child naming ceremony in a 1000 square mile area, as well as mistaking hospitals and schools for guerilla bases and ammunition dumps. These random victims of U.S. bombs and drone strikes that have brought the death toll from U.S. interventionism in Afghanistan to more than 200,000, with many more seriously wounded and maimed.
The latest massacre seems to have been a typical US military cock up, poor communications, poor decision making and a trigger happy style of gung ho leadership. Afghan government forces, assisted by U.S. troops, launched a raid on a house in a densely populated village where a Taliban commander was believed to be attending a meeting. The soldiers got trapped in a narrow dead-end street, where they began taking enemy fire from surrounding homes.
So, what did they do to save their necks, Take cover and shoot back? Oh no, these guys were Uncle Sam's finest, they know how to deal with ambushes in densely populated urban areas? They called in air strikes, which meant firing missiles into a neighborhood filled mostly with entirely innocent non - combatants. Those missiles killed 32 human beings, including children.
The U.S. military’s position is the standard one: The military regrets the
And we should not overlook the most important fact: If U.S. troops had not still been active in Afghanistan, there never would have been a U.S. bombing raid on that neighborhood. I find the religious fanaticism and fundamentalism abhorrent, but if Afghans want to be ruled by these brutal, medievalist arseholes, that's their business.
So how do survivors of the massacre feel about what happened? When they were sure it was safe they took to the streets chanting “Death to America!” and other anti - western politics. Americans should bear that in mind next time there is a terrorist attack in the United States.
Actually this latest incident was not entirely one sided. Despite the bombing attack, two U.S. soldiers — Captain Andrew Byers and Sgt. First Class Ryan Gloyer were killed in the gunfight.
What did they die for? It was not to protect the freedom and values of their country's citizens, not to keep their loved ones safe. They died for nothing, the same thing that 60,000 U.S. soldiers died for in Vietnam and 3000 in Iraq. Saddam Huussein, The Taliban, they posed no direct threat to the USA or its people. The freedom and security of the American people have nothing to do with the war in Afghanistan. The war and all America's other recent wars have been about corporate profits and the geopolitical ambitions of Washington's neocon hawks. The conflict in Afghanistan is nothing more than a civil war. It may seem insane that a significant portion of the population support the Tsaliban, until you remember the Taliban are battling to oust a regime that has been installed into power by the U.S. government. They may be brutal, oppressive tyrants, the people seem to be saying, but at least they're our brutal, oppressive tyrants
Once the U.S. presidential race is over, a race in which the 16-year-old war in Afghanistan has barely been mentioned as one side were horrified that the other side's candidate once said 'pussy' while the other, perfectly reasonably, tried to get mainstream media to cover stories related to the opposing candidate being a war criminal, traitor, thief, liar and general cvnt, the American people can, if the woman touted as front runner by the 'liberals' who believe in bombing backward countries for world peace is elected, look forward to a continuing U.S. occupation of Afghanistan and Iraq. With Hillary Clinton in The White House there will be more U.S. interventionism, accomplishing nothing positive and only generating more hatred of 'the west' in general and the USA in particular.
