NATO Troops out of Afghanistan, End the Occupation, End the War
It’s not a War on Terror but a War against Innocent People, Stop the killing
“Something has gone alarmingly wrong in Afghanistan, previously touted as the Bush administrations one quasi-successful venture in nation-building. Afghanistan’s rising carnage still has not reached Iraq like levels. But the trend is running in decidedly the wrong direction. Poorly thought-out American policies are at least to blame” (The New York Times August 2006).
“If Washington seems to have forgotten Afghanistan, it is clear the Taliban and Al Qaeda have not. Funded largely by a flourishing opium trade, a resurgent Taliban effectively controls entire swathes of southern Afghanistan. Roadside bomb attacks have more than doubled this year, and suicide attacks have more than tripled. Britain’s commander in Afghanistan recently said that the intensity and ferocity of the fighting is far greater than in Iraq on a daily basis”. (Senator John Kerry, x-presidential candidate). This is exactly what the American media and political leaders are saying after 5 years of occupation.
