1948 UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights
To
me, the key to understanding geopolitical events and policies is what happens
to the ordinary people. We have had a spate of articles about Afghanistan,
but few that consider the viewpoint of the people involved in the killing, the
suffering and the dying.
For once I would like to hear the officials speak in human terms, as Rep. Alan
Grayson D-FL does on health reform. I want to read articles from people who have been on the ground. One Diary of a Mad Baghdad Housewife
sheds more wisdom and light on Iraq
than the entire North American blogosphere could in all the war years.
It doesn't take an ethical genius to figure out the UDHR definition of the
Afghan War. It is a war crime with millions of perpetrators.
Supporting the perpetrators is a crime against humanity.
Doki Entered the US in 1950 Disguised as the Red Menace
In
1950 I was confused. The Communist North Koreans had mercilessly invaded the
south. Our WWII Marines were gathering at Pusan
to repel the invaders. UN member troops united against the Communist
aggressors.
We kids stocked up with Army Surplus and Red Ryder bb guns. Ski, Rothblatt, man
your machine guns cried a popular comic book.
There was a problem. They called every decent American I knew a Communist. We
ceased being a Republic.
In the old and brilliant Japanese movie "The Banners Of Samurai', the ruler of a kingdom hires a gruesome War Captain to extend his domain. When asked about the name of his new minister, the ruler replies, "His name is Yamamoto Kanske, Doki which means The Devil of War.'

Dumping Obama Begins the Problems
Americans
love wars until we lose them.
Few of them ever mention the 7.2 millions slaughtered in Asia.
They weren't white. Many connect wars with jobs and prosperity. Even with the
recession 83% have jobs and 85% retain their homes.
The voters must suffer a great deal more before they will elect a Progressive. Republicans would be happy to unite with Progressives in any plan to derail
Obama or his programs. This is a quick way for the USA
to become even more of a dictatorship.
Hasn't Karzai Already Decided to Contest for Heroin Trade?
Afghanistan is the number
one producer and distributor for Heroin. It seems the US Military and the CIA
are working to control this trade. They assassinate warlords who have sided
with the Taliban.
If our military withdrew completely, Blackwater and the CIA might still be able
to hang onto their share of the heroin traffic. For sure, there is nothing but suffering for the Afghan people in this mess.
Hobson's Choice: Impeachment or Assassination?
The
President made a difficult decision with his speech. It could inspire a number
of Progressives to bolt his Party line on the Afghan escalation issue. Since
the Republicans have united to oppose him on any issue, Barack Obama is in
danger of losing his majorities in both Houses of Congress.
The Afghan War will determine who controls the world supply and distribution of
heroin. The US
military and the CIA assassinate the warlords favorable to the Taliban and
vice-versa. The hapless Afghan people will suffer no matter who wins. If the President had chosen to withdraw, he would have run a serious risk of
assassination.
Heroin, Nukes and Assassination are the Real Issues
Heroin
dominates the Afghan economy. Our military and the CIA battle with the Taliban
for control of the trade. Both sides assassinate the warlords not allied with
them. The US
military and the CIA operate black, which means they are not held to an
accounting for their expenditures.
The "war" is a struggle between US mafia-types and the Afghan
bandits. The Afghan people suffer no matter who prevails. Anyone who interferes
to stop this tragedy risks assassination.
If the US officials feared
nuclear war with the Middle East, why did they
sell them our nuclear secrets? The espionage Agents have been exposed to the
public and to the Bush and Obama administrations. Why weren't they prosecuted?
Does the USA
have a death wish?
Rep. Kucinich D-OH deserves our respect and admiration. Few Americans have the
courage and insight to speak for the Afghan people. Many Afghans desire that
foreigners leave the country, but the US MSM will not show dissidents such as
Marilia Joya speak nationally. She is on the YouTube with European interviews.
My article on her was rejected by OEN. American officials don't want to hear
from the Afghan people.
Charles Krauthammer said, "It's not exactly the kind of speech that you would have heard from Henry V or Churchill. And it's not exactly the kind of speech you that heard from George Bush when he announced his surge."
Escalation Was a Smooth Move
