Clearly NATO is a mutual defense pact. The legitimate Afghanistan government threatened and invaded no one.
Of course we now know that the invasion of Iraq was illegal and based on lies and fabricated crap. But NATO was not involved in that. Why not? What’s the essential difference? What is NATO’s excuse for occupying Afghanistan but not Iraq?
Is it just another Bullies Bush & Blair enterprise?
Who condoned it?
Who ordered it?
Soldiers of NATO member countries are getting killed and maimed too. Yet I see no outrage from anyone that their country is over there for God-knows-for-what-reason. Talk about ignoring the 600lb gorilla that’s in the room!
With all I have written, and all we know, the invasion and occupation of Afghanistan by the USA military ordered by Commander-in-Chief Bush, looks questionable in many legal and fundamental ways; not to mention what the true motives were.
But none of it explains how and why NATO got involved.
I wish those who comment would provide the documentation that legitimizes the NATO presence in Afghanistan.
And I don’t want to hear the annoying “ giving ‘em democracy and freedom” BS. Those who will make that stupid argument can explain why the USA/NATO haven’t invaded Burma/Junta and Zimbabwe/Mugabe to name just two criminal rogues who have killed, imprisoned and tortured thousands upon thousands of innocents.
Plus, the halls of democracy and justice stink of Bush-family pal and associate Hamid Karzai being elevated to the Afghani Presidency. NATO should perhaps start the democracy movement in America if that’s their game.
When NATO and the international community truly make it their business to apprehend and bring to justice criminal murdering despots, they might start with the arrest of President George W. Bush and his whole extended GOP gang of conspirators and enablers. There’s a lot more cause for that than there was for the invasion, occupation and overthrow of the legitimate government of Afghanistan and the murder of so many of its people.
