The Americans have the nerve to link Islamic fundamentalism with terrorism. This is rich coming from a nation that promotes, in many states, Christian fundamentalist creationism in the face of overwhelming scientific evidence to the contrary.
The US toppled the Taliban regime because it was inconvenient, not because it was violating human rights in Afghanistan. Granted, the Taliban are a bunch of religious fascists who wreaked ever greater havoc as their stranglehold on power tightened. However, they were allowed to subjugate the Afghan people while it suited US international policy to do so. Bush had an ulterior motive for smashing the regime and 911 was merely the catalyst. The question people should be asking is…what use is Afghanistan to the global gangsters who run the western oil corporations?
Where was the US when Saddam used chemical weapons and sundry murderous practises (which are ongoing) against his own people? What does Iraq have that the US wants? It certainly isn’t all that sand and camel shit!
