&quot;My analysis is weakness of Middle Eastern countries and that of Pakistan or Iran encouraging uncle SAM to carry out their wild dreams for continuing occupation of Oil and Trade. Wars like these also create a mega buck internal trade sustaining huge defense industry that makes American public weak and poor and rich American get richer, a not so good recipe for capitalism.&quot;

Dear Tanwir, America had been doing these wrong acts  for over 50 years or may be 100 years. Why there was no bloodshed in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan all the years. Why it had to start after September 11, 2001 just 8 years ago?</description>

		<description>Dear Sir,

Yet again you have provided some food for thought on our contemporary events. Thank you!

Here are some more stats about Afghan war and a to the point analysis: http://www.nolanchart.com/article7039.html

Mr. Hoh may possibly be a smaller prophet who aids bigger prophets to keep them aligned to what is right. US needs a bigger prophet, who can pull this nation and the world out of the quagmire, it has created. Or else, they are already at the location of the graveyard. 

Here is an article about a big time prophet in our recent history: http://www.ericmargolis.com/political_commentaries/a-day-that-shook-the-world.aspx</description>

		<description>The article is well-written to expose American policy in Iraq and Afghanistan as seen by an American soldiers who loves his country and strongly feels America is fighting a losing war and there is no light in the tunnel of hope and optimism.

The big debate is whether America is an Angel or Devil.

Different people will have different answers. For example the Muslims of former Yugoslavia, mostly now living in Kosovo would consider America an Angel. Had it not been America, they would all have been massacred.

The people of free world after World War II when Hitler and Nazi were defeated, they considered America as Angel. America was the leading fighter against Japan and Germany. If America had not done so, the world today would be far worst than what it is today.

It is the fear of super power of America that has prevented many powerful countries to attack and take over weaker countries. Many weaker countries would have vanished from the face of the earth.

No other country in the world spends on relief and charity on poor countries even a fraction of what America spends.

Now the role as a Devil.  America attacked Iraq without any reasons but it was the decision of one man probably because Sadam Hussain had planned to kill his father. Even the current President of America, President Obama was against this war as well as the majority of Americans were against this war. It was a great blunder and America is now paying back for its blunder.

Attack on Afghanistan is debatable.  America was attacked by foreigners and intelligence sources said the attackers had headquarter in Afghanistan. Therefore America attacked Afghanistan. Just consider if the same attackers had attacked Pakistan bombing the parliament building in Islamabad or some very important buildings in Karachi and Lahore, Pakistan would have attacked Afghanistan to get at their enemies. Therefore whether America was right in attacking Afghanistan is a debatable issue and it will depend on which side of the fence you are. As a Muslims it is great pains to me that our brothers and sisters being killed in Afghanistan but at the same time I am in great pains to see that the same brothers in Afghanistan are killing our brothers and sisters in Pakistan. Therefore it is indeed difficult for me which side of the fence I should stand to judge America on war against Afghanistan militants and terrorists that happen to be, unfortunately, my brothers.

When America attacked Afghanistan to get at the attackers of WTC, the attackers moved over to Pakistan and were hidden and sheltered by Pakistanis. America could have attacked Pakistan after government of Pakistan could not locate the leaders. It was President Musharraf who had no alternative but to join America against war on terror. This saved Pakistan. However, the militants and terrorists now want to overthrow the government of Pakistan and become rulers  making Pakistan a Banana Republic where human being can be slaughtered and their bodies hanged on tress at their will as they have been doing all the time.

May Allah save Pakistan from the militants and terrorists!</description>

		<description>Just one more thing.  No, Hoh didn&#039;t know about the Downing Street memo and he probably didn&#039;t know much or anything about our wars over the past century or their true purpose. The Downing Street memo was not reported here and is almost unknown.  It&#039;s shocking, but true.  Our news has been cleansed of reality.  We are a poor, hypnotized, propagandized nation, who are being led by the nose through the gates of hell, but yet we go there enthusiastically and all too gladly.  Meanwhile they, at the same time, arrange for the overthrow of our nation by the UN (which is controlled by the Western elite)...  it&#039;s a strange strange world, through the establishment of their North American Union.

I blame the people for being unwilling to read, to learn and to think. Perhaps this is too much to expect of them?  I only know the ruling class has outsmarted us.  Liberals here view them as incompetent, which is a serious mistake.  They are competently evil and have outwitted us every step of the way.  They are brilliant at manipulating the people and have complete control of us.  

Years of being told that our press is &quot;free&quot; convinced many that the truth is found only in a U.S. newspaper.  I remember years ago when a lot of nonsense about the U.S., which was being written in the foreign press, was reprinted in U.S. newspapers.  We came to believe then that everything written about us abroad is nonsense and lies, but this, of course, was false.  The ruling class probably did that intentionally.  They cleverly convinced us that we should not waste time reading in other sources.  They know what they are doing and stay a few steps ahead of us all the time.  One must be a very critical thinker to avoid being entrapped by them, but most people are intellectually lazy.  They are not stupid, but too accustomed to comfort and thoroughly brainwashed.</description>

		<description>&quot;What was Hoh thinking when he joined the Foreign Service of a government whose governance is seen more abroad than at home?&quot; 

Great work, Anwaar!  The point is, I guess, that most Americans are still too brainwashed to truly think about these things at all.  At least they oppose the war by a majority, but the average well-educated person doesn&#039;t understand the least thing about government.  I have little hope anymore.  They will not understand until the government takes or destroys something or someone who is dear to them.  They have no compassion for other Americans, much less for the people of the world.  They tolerate mass murder of civilians like it is a routine and necessary fact of life and no longer feel burdened by moral responsibilities.  People here are blinded by years of pro-government, pro-elite media material.  They cannot and will not think clearly.  Many of my friends (or former friends) will be first in line to join the NWO&#039;s fascist party and will find justification every step of the way for the wrongs our government commits against the poor and defenseless.  We are insane - a nation of crazies, many of whom even lack the inclination for self protection when confronted with government wrong-doing, so thorough and complete is our training and indoctrination.</description>

		<description>Re : G. Vishvas

A tough quiz Vishvas.

Your first question;

&lt;em&gt;&quot;But what about the islamic, arabic and turkish empires and imperialisms? Why are afghans tolerating them? Even killing and dying for them?
&lt;/em&gt;
Answer;

&quot;Because those Empires were/are based on faith. Inland Empires, Empires of the mind. Convert the Afghans into Christianity today and take Afghanistan to America, placing it next to Utah. They will go merrily along. There, they will not only make faces at their neighbors, but will also feed the Americans tasty Afghan dishes on the side. The hardest thing to wash from the anatomy of a people is their faith.&quot;

Next you ask;

&lt;em&gt;&quot;Why are afghans (and iranians and pakistanis etc.) not rejecting these alien imperialisms and chuvinisms?&quot;&lt;/em&gt;

Answer;

Refer to my first answer.

Thanks</description>

		<description>Comment about the article and the comments: 

Mr Ho seems to have been a junior FS officer, who expressed his doubts openly within the diplomatic circles. His bosses made it difficult for him to carry on - and therefore the man had to resign. 

Why Iraq does not get a mention is pretty simple too: Ho has to cite his disaffection with his present position to justify his resignation; and his letter does not need to discuss a previous posting.

The US is drunk on power and the exercise of power world-wide. Her actions arew quite logical once this preise is accepted. 

The problem in Afghanistan is that the Taliban is also drunk - on the power of an All Mighty Allah. It is these drunks who are slugging it out - the difference is that America clearly counts every war dead as a loss, whereas the Taliban war dead gain shahadat and a place in Heaven. The Taliban feel victorious even after thousands have fallen in the field battle. The Pakistan Army is also discovering this fact to its cost. Is this war also unwinnable ???</description>
