The Afghan War

 The tenth anniversary of the U.S war in Afghanistan was marked on the 7th of October 2011.

Several life has been wasted, and are still being wasted while several billions of dollars has gone down the drain in what seems to be a never ending war. According to Ted Turner, he said " The last time someone surrendered was japan and that was 60 years ago. The Afghans will never surrender. We will just get tired and come home". Therefore with the looks of things , it seems like the U. S Government have but just two options; one, either to just withdraw all forces from  that country  and come home or two, just simply exterminate them .
    My second option may seem weird, but going by the recent news, one can not but think that the U.S people and Government don' have regards and respect for any other person who is not a U S citizen.
In the first instance, the war was started based on proofs and evidences that were not strong. I mean how could a war be declared on a nation without solid evidence? it only goes to show that the government do not have any concern for human life. The mastermind of the  September 11 twin tower attacks is still at best doutful till date.
   So many people are beginning to believe that the attack was actually planned by the us government itself. According to a poll reported on yahoo, one out of seven American citizens believe the attack to have been planned by their government or, at best that the US government was well aware of the attack but intentionally did nothing to prevent it.
    Also, there have been reports of us soldiers recklessly killing civilians for fun and game.
According to the guardian news, here is a picture of a us soldier (Jeremy Morlock) 
hand holding up the head of the dead and bloodied youth he and his colleagues have just killed.



According to the report, the unsuspecting victim had been waved over by a group of US soldiers who had driven to his village in Kandahar province in one of their armoured Stryker tanks.That was the moment Morlock, according to a pre-arranged plan, threw a grenade at the boy that exploded while other members of the rogue group who called themselves the "kill team" opened fire.
They would later tell military investigators that the boy, a farmer's son, had threatened them with the grenade.
  There are several pictures and videos like thiswith different soldiers posing with dead Afghan youths.
this to me seems like a very slow exterminaion of a people especially when the young ones are the ones that are targeted and treated this way.
   We will continue to wait and see how all these will end.
