It is nice to see some “correct thinking” that doesn’t blindly follow the correctness path of endorsing everything the Bush Administration says or does.

Are you aware the Taliban came to power in Afghanistan using US weapons? The US was warned by many in the State Department and elsewhere not to fund several radical groups (especially Gulbadin Hekmayarter). But the CIA (and ISI) insisted anybody fighting the Soviets were our friends. The US funds put the Taliban in power and they gave refuge to Osama bin Laden.

After we put a bad government in power, we attacked them claiming they are unfair to women and minorities. We bombed their cities, destroyed their crops and stationed troops in their country. Then we wonder why they dislike us!

As recently as the 1990′s the CIA was funding Pol Pot (of The Killing Fields), probably the most infamous mass murderer since Hitler and Stalin.

Most people are unaware of the many wars waged by the United States. In 1972 we were in Lybia (nobody new). We were in Cambodia during Vietnam despite what Nixon said. We have fought in Guatamala, Nicaragua, Cuba, etc.

Americans and US journalists would rather read local news and find reality depressing. Thus we blindly follow politicians down the path to hell.

It is good to see you take a stand against such attrocities.
Lets, hope America wakes up and realizes the genocide taking place in Africa and elsewhere.
