Dear Mr. Joyce,
In your post #86, you
have stated: “No one has yet
answered my question about what the west can actually do to help Afghans”.
Either I have missed
the question in your previous posts or perhaps did not take the question
too seriously. I have a simple answer for what the west can do. What they
can do is move their military out of Afghanistan and then talk, if
they have any thing to talk about. In fact it is not the whole west, it is
basically the US.
Since many countries in the ‘west’ are members of NATO and a UN sanctioned
had been granted to attack Afghanistan
to look for Bin Laden so the European NATO countries and Canada
decided to participate as one of the NATO obligations. Also to have share
of the spoils, the real reason, only if there would be any in the end.
Although I do not believe any one would be going home with any loot from
the Afghanistan.
The Americans and the
‘west’ aren’t exactly in Afghanistan
to help that country. They are there only to help themselves by killing as
many Afghanis as possible. They are after the political control of the
region to get close to the Caspian circle of energy.
I think I have
mentioned the whole story why and what took America to go there under the
pretext of looking for Bin Laden. With that fact explained, I must have
thought that there was no reason left to answer the question as to what the
west can do. They need to leave to allow peace in the region. If they want
to help, they can help with money, and construction workers. They can certainly
help no one with tanks and bombers.
Since you do not even
believe that there is such a thing as the ‘American imperialism’, which is
in fact the root cause of the whole trouble in the region, so no matter
what I write, it would mean nothing to you.
The Daily Jang
journalist is perhaps right in saying that people prayed in 1971 for the
American help, but not for its invasion. Afghanistan is not getting
help, it is getting the invasion – there is a big difference. The example
that you have quoted simply does not apply.
