Reflections on the "New American" Revolution
Saturday, December 20, 2003
A Young Afghan Dares to Mention the Unmentionable: "Why, she asked the delegates assembled here on Wednesday to ratify a new constitution for Afghanistan, were her countrymen and women tolerating the presence of the 'criminals' who had destroyed the country?
'They should be brought to national and international justice,' she said. 'If our people forgive them, history will not.' "
Why are the criminals writing the new constitution in Iraq? Because the US has done deals with them. If they give Karzai the powers that Washington wants him to have, the warlords will be able to do what they want--run the country outside Kabul.
Amazing isn't it, for a US administration that is promoting democracy, to be promoting the interests of warlords, in this case the guys who supply a huge percentage of the world's opium? No. It's just what the Bush people are doing everywhere. Find a local who execute the policies we want, pay them and let them do whatever criminal stuff they want to.
This is very dangerous -- as we saw with 9/11, our former proxies (Bin Ladin was a CIA asset during the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan, Saddam was courted by the Reagan administration and specifically by Rumsfeld during the 80's) will come around to bite us.
