"Quittin" Time in Afghanistan

As Eric Margolis writes so eloquently in the "Toronto Sun", an election held under the guns of a foreign occupation army cannot be called legitimate or democratic, and the stage-managed vote in Afghanistan for candidates chosen by western "powers" is unlikely to bring either peace or tranquility to this unfortunate nation that has already suffered thirty years of war:

Random death from evil drones bearing death and destruction from "pilots", many miles away in the relative safety of the United States. From their perspective, no resident of Afghanistan is safe from their god-like, or should I say: "Thor-like" penchant for random violence and murder.

How would our citizens in the USA react to random death from an Afghani drone cruising over our highways, killing commuters going to their jobs during rush-hour traffic.

Far fetched? Not necessarily. It just takes a few drones launched from an "unfriendly" neighbor of our country, which is not afraid of our retaliation.

Up a you Essa, Your Honor!!

Failure to communicate accurately is sometimes the beginning of a relentless war: Once upon a time, when a humble Italian immigrant was asked by his US immigration examiner where the "Great Lakes" could be found in America, his response was: "Up a you essa". The same lack of precise information is now a serious stumbling block in our frantic effort to bring Afghanistan under our control. As Eric Margolis, perhaps the best and brightest of our newsmen printed in the "Toronto Sun", an election held under the guns of a foreign occupation army cannot be called legitimate or democratic. The Taliban and its nationalist allies rejected the vote as a fraud, designed to validate continued occupation and open the way for western oil and gas pipelines.

Of course, this indisputable fact would, and could NEVER have been printed in the "free" newspapers of our "United States".

This week's stage-managed vote in Afghanistan for candidates chosen by the "western powers" - rather WEAK powers, don't you think?

It's a LOT more humiliating than the political torture my family and I endured in what was left of Germany, after the end of the Second World War: Our "news media" assured us that "black is white, and white is black, an you'll believe that, if you know what is good for you.

Unfortunately, this reminded so many of our fellow Germans of the NAZI days, that we just laughed all that shit off, an wished those who had dared to dupe us with that crap to the lower mansions of hell!
