Editor’s remarks: At
some stage every imperial war has to come to an end. In this regard,
American criminal war in Afghanistan will be no exception. It seems the
invaders ‘achieved’ much. The military-industrial complex made enormous
profits and they inflicted immeasurable losses on the people and land of
the Afghans. Americans learnt how to use increasingly brutal military
force and new weapons with the help of their NATO partners and allies to
crush a defiant people who wanted to oust the foreign invaders. They
installed a puppet regime in Kabul and their man Karzai has done what
the masters wanted him to do even though he made some noises from time
to time against the indiscriminate killings of the civilians. They also
learnt how to use war propaganda effectively to deceive the world when
they killed and brutalised Afghan civilians. Last but not least, they
introduced American values in Afghanistan! It is a long litany of
achievements for the world to remember!!

Why was one of
the poorest countries in the world subjected to a decade of invasion
and occupation, if the outcome was to talk to the very people the war
was against?

There was, on the one hand, the obvious question: what on earth was the war for?
Why had one of the poorest countries in the world been subjected to more than a decade of invasion and occupation, if the eventual outcome was to talk to the very people that the war had been against?
Why had tens if not hundreds of thousands died, and far more been displaced or injured, if the end of this terrible war merely brought everyone back to square one?
