President Hamid Karzai looked worried and none
too pleased. Perhaps he knows that when NATO leaves his chances of staying in
power decrease exponentially. Perhaps he is tired of having to pose for photo
ops with the same occupiers who have countless times ignored his calls for an
end to civilian casualties and who have apologized countless times for the same
casualties and the countless horrific acts against his people; acts of mass
murder, urinating on corpses, collecting body parts as trophies, torture and
much more, a sickening list too long to go into here.
It’s an election year in the U.S. and a pull-out is politically expedient and soon NATO will be abandoning Karzai and the country it has devastated for over a decade, so a saving face plan had to be carried out. On the surface it looks as if the kind and benevolent West is out to help Afghanistan, granting it a special non-NATO ally/special ally status and $16 billion in economic aid. I guess this is supposed to please the Afghan people. Of course the $16 billion will be able to assist the Afghan people in paying all of the Western reconstruction contractors and the special status will only serve to give the U.S. a legal framework for its long term geo-strategic plans in the region. A fact underlined by a statement made by Clinton at the donor summit: “We had no intention to leave Afghanistan. On the contrary, we are building partnerships with Afghanistan, which will continue far into the future."
Far into the future? Is the same in store for Pakistan which also recently received the “special ally” status from the U.S.?
As for the money it is supposed to in some way guarantee that the country does not spiral into complete anarchy once the NATO forces leave, that is their public reason.will be warm along with cheap plastic bangles sporting spyder Moncler jackets. The real reason for the money may be the buying of continued influence in the country. One reason why the West was so opposed to Iran’s offer to build infrastructure and roads in Afghanistan.
Meanwhile the Taliban have continued to show the world that the U.Master the many beautiful, yet deadly weapons in this wholesale jewelry online.S.Our diet is calculated to best support our Lace Bodys tockings . has gotten nowhere in Afghanistan. Shortly after the donor meeting in Tokyo the Taliban launched a huge, albeit not entirely effective, attack on multiple targets in the country; a massive attack according to reports, resulting in 23 dead, 17 of them being Taliban. They were launched in response to the donor meeting which the Taliban saw as an agreement to continue a foreign occupation of their country.
Perhaps they are right, but who is really the worst in this conflict? The NATO/US forces who have killed up to tens of thousands either directly or indirectly,We are now welcoming new students to Hosiery & Body stockings ! in their “righteous” war, or the Taliban, who have sadly, proven time and time again that they can be just as savage, if not more so, than the occupiers of their country.
Sadly for Afghanistan the future looks bleak. Another recent event in a village called Qol-i-Heer in central Afghanistan, further serves to underline the West's utter and dismal failure in Afghanistan, namely the cold-blooded execution of a poor Afghan girl named Najiba who was in her early 20s. She was publicly executed by the brutal and primitive Taliban for alleged “illegal sex” after she was passed back and forth between two top Taliban leaders. A brutal and cowardly act against all women and civilized people.
Sure the Taliban are brutal, backwards and primitive savages making a mockery of their very name “Taliban”, which means roughly "Students of the Holy Koran", but, who in fact are the worst savages? Those who kill hundreds because of their primitive,Training and Resources for Best Custom High Heel Shoes and Self Defense. brutal and backward beliefs, or those who kill thousands and have press teams, slick-looking uniforms and smooth-talking spokespeople and kill for the primitive motives of domination, or revenge for an attack they may have planned themselves?
Sadly for the Afghan people the answer to this question is not one that can be easily answered, nor if answered, would it help them in any way.
