Four Lies About the Afghanistan War

American must feel very guilty about what they did to the Afghan people, or why else would the constantly tell each other the same obvious lies?
  1. Americans claim the Taliban attacked America

    Even George W. Bush says it was Al-Qaeda that attacked on 9/11, not the Taliban. Not even one of the alleged 9/11 conspirators was an Afghan or Iraqi. They were nearly all Saudis. The United States attacked Afghanistan first and illegally. Aiding and abetting that American occupation is a capital war crime.
  2. Americans claim the Taliban are a serious security threat to the USA

    How could they be when their only weapons are a kitchen-made road-side bombs? They have no humvees, tanks, ships, planes, ICBMs… The Taliban just want their country back, same as they wanted it back from the Russians. They did not threaten the Russians either. The USA has roughly 10 times bigger a population that Afghanistan. Afghanistan’s population in mostly under 15. America is bombing the shit out of nation of children! An average American brings in $2750.00 USD per month. The average Afghan brings in $30.00 USD per month. Americans claiming self defence against Afghanistan is like Mike Tyson claiming self defence in a mugging/rape of Miley Cyrus. There are only 100 Al-Qaeda left in Afghanistan. Just how few have to be left before Americans can feel safe? This paranoia is stark raving bonkers.
  3. Americans claim the Taliban are insurgents

    That is nonsense. Back in 2001, the Taliban were the legitimate government of Afghanistan. Even if we don’t like their fundamentalist religion, they still have the support of the majority of the Afghan population which is almost completely Muslim. Hamid Karzai is a puppet dictator imposed by the US military. His band of warlords and druglords collaborated with a foreign enemy. That makes them traitors, collaborators and insurgents. It is a situation similar to the Nazi occupation of France in WW II with the provisional government of morally bankrupt French collaborators appointed by the Nazis.
  4. Americans flatter themselves

    Americans flatter themselves by claiming the Afghans love having the Americans occupying their country. Think of the suffering the Afghan people endured to be free of the occupying Russians then later the Americans. It is a David and Goliath story. The Afghans take massive casualties and sacrifice their lives in suicide attacks just to kill one occupying soldier. Only because the Afghans are so determined to be free and only because the Afghan people are so unified have they managed to fight to a standstill the world’s largest military power for 8 years and 1 month.
