Protecting democracy?
NATO's comments about the fact that afghan civilians should not have been there and that was why they were killed in the recent bombing is to say the least outrageous!
The sad fact is that true democracy does not exist anywhere in the world. Nor is it a real democracy when the opposition is not allowed to run against the establishment. In this case the west has imposed elections and forced the Taliban party out of Afghanistan at the end of a gun.
What is so democratic about that? On the flip side, what is so democratic when the CIA and the USA's culvert operatives routinely assassinate and do "renditions" of those people who do not tow Washington's line?
How can we say NATO is also imposing democracy? In a muslim country like Afghanistan, the muslims want their population ruled a certain way. It is historic, it is their culture. Imposing western values does away with eons of knowledge, when you through out doctors, nurses and instead bring in only those Afghans who are card carrying conservative republicans, you are just replacing the truly conservative muslims who have knowledge with conservative westernized Afghans who are just as ignorant and unable to practice their skills because they are out of touch with their client base.
We are expecting an entire country to become some backward southern 56th state of the USA, complete with the lack of adequate health, water, sewer and ripe with redneck bigots....we are not imposing democracy, we are exporting the old KKK ways....shoot anyone or anything that questions white conservative values....
What the Taliban did by blowing up religious icons at the end of a barrel, the Americans are doing with high tech weapons, blowing up the history of the world, we are losing the foundation of Eden, of the first paradise, the foundation of mankind's knowledge after all came from parts of the middle east and from the very cultures we accuse of being backwards...
