The “Afghanistan papers”: The criminality and disaster of a war based upon lies

[wsws.org]

Well we covered the socialism aspect of the 80s when Russia was attempting to help in Afghanistan. If you remember, that was because the people wanted to end the then wide spread corruption of that era. But Charlie and the CIA weren't going to have it and decided turning the area into a terrorist hot spot was a better idea.

This article exposes a couple other aspects going on in Afghanistan. Training Afghanis for self policing, and civilian deaths. Each being a major waste in tax dollars, resulting in weapons going to the Taliban, bombs killing innocent civilians.

It also mentions some of those interviewed claiming the same results (none) within the Iraq war. In which today we see mass rioting where our democracy and freedom there has resulted in several hundred being gunned down, deaths in the hundreds, if not thousands by now.

Say hello to Hong Kong! Here comes your freedom and democracy.
