US warriors in search of Afghan peace
Wars are planned and executed by sadistic and cruel minds - characters which cultivate fear and hatred, and certainly not by the rational people exercising human intellect, foresight, dignity and accountability in global affairs. Most could best be described as human beings equipped with monstrous egos pursuing favorite perversions.
If you were to ask why America invaded Afghanistan some 12 years ago, moral and intellectual bankruptcy would rank highly as the reasons. George W Bush posted a 48-hour ultimatum to the then Taliban-led government of Afghanistan to hand-over Osama bin Laden, the accused master mind of the 9/11 attacks on America. The Taliban-led Afghan Government asked for proof of the accusations. America had none except theories and frustrated words. Hurriedly, American troops supported by Britain and other hired nations landed there to occupy the land of the Afghan people. The North Atlantic Treaty Organization was instantly transformed to take up a new role but ill-defined war against Afghanistan.
As a result of this the single act by Bush, some 40,000 Afghans have been killed, with women and innocent children buried in mass graves. Last week, America announced it would hold peace talks with the Taliban, the group or political entity they have fought for 12 years.
The facts on the ground are damning. America and its allies killed thousands but could achieve nothing else. They agreed to end the military occupation in 2014. They desperately need a strategically convenient and safe passage out of Afghanistan.
