Untold numbers of needless Iraqi and Afghani deaths
I feel sorry for those who have lost their loved ones to war. I remember my dad used to talk about his WW2 experiences, even though all he did was guard German POWs at a camp here in Frobisher Bay, which is still regarded as some sort of secret both by the Canadian and USA.
It is sad when people die for a cause that has no purpose but to provide more monopoly and big bucks to a few multinational companies. Countries that do not relish democracy in the western sense, will not fight to maintain the democratic principles. This is where the War on Terror is way off base.
Supposedly the USA and co-olition of the co-erced deaths, often young men and women who would much rather stay alive for a good purpose as to die for a war no one wants. It is interesting the parallels between the arguments that Bush makes to preserve freedom and individual rights, and those comments of the so called muslim terrorist make who also want to preserve muslim rights and freedoms.
In some parts of Iraq, the war on terror have destroyed antiquities, the same in Afghanistan, culture that is lost forever. It would be not even reasonable to preserve freedom at the expense of our history, there are better ways to gain freedom than to bomb the heck out of people.
How can you obtain freedom at the end of gun? It is a paradox that by fighting what we call terrorist, who too try to obtain their goals at the end of gun, that we are no different. The intense bombing and shelling of civilian houses in Iraq and Afghanistan to free the west of terror is no different in some ways than the terrorist blowing up buildings and trains in the west.
There is no difference between the two, both are horrible acts, crimes against humanity.
The ghosts of our youth beg to get the right story told, that is that the war on terror is really a war on the common sense of everyone. One day there will be peace and when we attain it, we will look back on this period of infringement on civil and human rights as a crime against humanity. And for what? In who's name? And for who?
