A Final Comment
Afghanistan today is the reality of Washington's agenda. Except for Haiti's five centuries of suffering, it highlights John Pilger's belief that:
"Through all the humanitarian crises in living memory, no country has been abused and suffered more, and none has been helped less than Afghanistan."
Washington's genocidal agenda accentuates that view. Millions of post-9/11 corpses bear it testimony. Why else would fierce resistance persist to expunge America's presence. For long-suffering Afghans, it can't come a moment too soon.
