Afghanistan more than duplicates Nam as it is Vietnam on steroids in every single respect.
We lied and created the fiasco in Nam as we have in Afghanistan. We created North and South Vietnam not the Vietnamese.
Once again this time in Afghanistan we are propping up another puppet regime. We could have gotten right out of Afghanistan as we succeeded on our originally declared mission long ago.
We seem to have nothing left in America but this corruptive war economy and are keeping the wars going for illicit gains.
I do not like what we see. We are determined to join Afghanistan's graveyard of Nations but we better get the hell out of there because I have said it for years and you can see it now but these wars are barely beginning.
I call it Bush's forever war but in reality it is Cheney, Rummy, and Rove who fostered it for those powers really behind the right.This breakdown is barely beginning and we have dirty hands.
There are no surprises here. Have you ever read "we do not have clean hands in Afghanistan"? "a clean break" ? Remember the divvying up of Africa in the Berlin conference ? everything that is happening right now in North Africa and the Middle East is our fault.
Those people are peeved at us too as we shored up and turned our heads on those destructive dictatorships as long as they did our bidding.
The chicken has come home to roost. 3 of my sons are career military and they know this is barely beginning.
I keep telling them to relax you are an it for the long haul. This is their future and I don't like it but they are reserved towards it.
Civil war keeps being mentioned in regard to Libya. I hate to say it but that seems to cover most countries in the Middle East and many in Africa including Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, and every country ever involved with us. What a coincidence that Libya like North Korea were deemed worth working with when in 2008 Bush recovered full diplomatic relations with Gaddafi.
