Over 100 Civilians killed by brave U.S. Army in Afghanistan. What would a New York, Los Angeles or Miami guy of courage do, if his father, mother, son or daughter would be killed by Afghan Army? Exactly what Taliban and some other normal folks would do in Asia.
50 Vietnamese killed for each American Soldier, some years ago. Remember? So, what are 100 Afghan anyway? U.S. have to protect their soldiers in foreign countries. So Afghan count nothing! Same goes for ten thousands of folks in Iraq, Chile, Argentina, Guatemala and Nicaragua. U.S. human resources are holly, as thought Europeans in times of Conquerors. But minor folks are at disposal of CIA, IMF and U.S. Army.
Remember some other facts? Israel was always covered up by U.S. governments. And so they destructed life chances of Arab folks, mainly Palestinians, since 60 years. And they killed in Lebanon and Gaza. Who is responsible? Putin?
Yes, Putin is responsible of crimes in Chechnya and in Beslan, Litvinenko with Pollonium and Moscow Musical. Nobody should tell that Putin was not informed as head of secret service. But the crime cannot be compared with Vietnam or Argentina. Torturing do death own youth? I am not so sure----
Let's make more adequate comparisons: Napoleon killed in battles some hundred thousands of own men in his army and other armies. Hitler was more successful: He killed 6 million of Jews and about 100 million civilians and soldiers - but he did together with Japanese and Mussolini. This was war and not to be compared with modern times of civilized behaviourism in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Take Stalin: Well, this guy was insane and crazy and he must have killed and tortured millions, especially out of Caucasus, but in fact, nobody in the West cared much about this.
Take Mao: Here it is stupidity of pre Hu and Wen chaps with an explosion of population without end and therefore, Mao wanted to increase production in industry and agriculture and failed and millions died. There is a parallel: Orthodox wanted to achieve the same with Wall Street finance instruments, destructing some 100 trillions in values worldwide - and brought the rest-world to the edge of the end of capitalism and globalisation.
The one thing was local stupidity of Mao - and the other is in fact a GW Bush-Greenspan and Obama stupidity to be paid by all folks on this Globe.
I think that Obama took the wrong train: As I predicted he will be sent in the desert in 4 years' time - not because he is incapable but because he did not foresee the spiral of breakdowns and collapses to come. Obama is just the same genius as GW Bush, and Geithner who like Summers is co-responsible for the mess of neo-conservative Systems in the world will achieve another Finance Vietnam.
I am tired and fed up. Nobody understands my words. Obama, wake up or you will be woken up by some others. And now continue with U.S. Vietnam politics in Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Israel, Wall Street, FED and G-20.
You are a decent man and, my favourite - and - YES, YOU CAN!
