The Afghan Quagmire by Ralph Nader

Dec. 3, 2009

Misusing professional cadets at West Point as a political prop, President Barack Obama delivered his speech on the Afghanistan war forcefully but with fearful undertones. He chose to escalate this undeclared war with at least 30,000 more soldiers plus an even larger number of corporate contractors.

He chose the path the military-industrial complex wanted. The “military” planners, whatever their earlier doubts about the quagmire, once in, want to prevail. The “industrial” barons because their sales and profits rise with larger military budgets.

“Twenty years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, Dutch, Belgian, Italian and German pilots remain ready to engage in nuclear war.”

“Nuclear forces based in Europe and committed to NATO provide an essential political and military link between the European and the North American members of the Alliance. The Alliance will therefore maintain adequate nuclear forces in Europe.”

“Although technically owned by the U.S., nuclear bombs stored at NATO bases are designed to be delivered by planes from the host country.”

Examining Obama’s Rationale for Escalating the War in Afghanistan by Jeremy R. Hammond

Outlining his rationale for the decision to send yet more troops to Afghanistan, President Barack Obama on Tuesday began with a familiar refrain: “We did not ask for this fight. On September 11, 2001, 19 men hijacked four airplanes and used them to murder nearly 3,000 people.”

“Al Qaeda’s base of operations”, he said, “was in Afghanistan, where they were harbored by the Taliban”, who “refused to turn over Osama bin Laden”.

In fact, the Taliban offered to either try bin Laden in their court system or hand him over to a third country if the U.S. provided evidence of his involvement in the 9/11 attacks. The evidence, however, was not forthcoming, and so the Taliban did indeed refuse on that basis.

I was very young during the Taliban war. I fled to the Baba Mountains with my family.There ‎was lots of snow then. When I returnedI never saw my father again.‎

We shouldnt continue this manner of life. This life is hard & difficult.‎

We should have a good & better life through peace & reconciliation.‎

A resolute love can change every human being & every violent person.‎

Dear friends in Afghanistan & the world, we may not make it‎

But as Ghandi encouraged, Be the change you want to see in the world.‎

More troops & more war make life tough for us.‎

But we will still move towards love & truth.‎

Let we ourselves, the youth, bring change. Yes..yes..yes!‎

Love is how well ask for peace! Lets movelets go!‎

When disappointment closes in like another moon-less night
We pause in our madness as mere dying Men‎
From this grief we salvage an indomitable love
That turns even tears into rivers of light
That breaks out in a run, however weary our sight

We will still move towards love & truth

With love, we ask the Nobel Peace Laureate President Obama for a Reconciliation of Civil ‎Hearts

From this grief we salvage an indomitable love
That breaks out in a run, however weary our sight
