Global Issues - AfghanistanWas the U.S. invasion necessary, if any wars are ever necessary? Maybe NATO should have invaded in 1998, after the theo-fascist Taliban started locking up their women, beheading nonconformists and destroying religious art. Those are more honorable intentions than private profit on the "silk pipeline" from Saudi Arabia to China. J did say some wars (and rumors of wars) were necessary, they were the "birth pains." Was this one? Forgiveness is a more difficult struggle than a terrorist jihad or a military occupation, but meanwhile, killing just keeps on killing.
The People won't take getting their buildings smashed. But the FBI strongly suspects a trusted U.S. military scientist of prodding the People's fear after 9/11. If you think the U.S. was tricked into Afghanistan on 9/11, well, then we're really in trouble. We respect the right of free thinkers to consider that possibility. Consider which major powers in the region benefit from the stabilization of this central asian trade, transportation and energy transmission nexus. The question is, why are we paying for it? Or rather, why are we borrowing for it?
The truth will set us all free. All people must be free to share their view of the truth for the truth to become known. Afghanistan was not free. It was a prisoner of many foreign interests using their peoples' pursuit of God to turn them into soldiers for life. The late twentieth century war (world war 3) was not cold. Was a hot war in Afghanistan, Vietnam and everyone else a necessary evil? Look within the heart and find that no evil is necessary. Love is all you need.

I think Iran is just haggling for a fair price. They use the macho wife-beater image to manipulate and control a part of the male populace that is angry and uneducated.If Saudi Arabia and Iraq build a pipeline through Afghanistan to China, the world's largest emerging energy market, it will have to go through Iran as well.
So the sentiment that the U.S. is fighting for its oil rights... not as much as it fights for Chinese oil rights... another distraction from the real issue.
Being at the center of the "Silk Pipeline" is seen as a profitable position... but profitable for who? Very profitable for very few.
Profitable for the American people? Doubtful. The key word in "Neo-Con" is CON, stupid. Does anyone else get the feeling they are going to skip town and leave us with the bill?
Hmmm, Osama Bin Laden, Saudi, tricks the Taliban, tricks the hijackers by manipulating their religion, tricks the United States into invading to get the Taliban out of the way. Hmmm, Bin Laden, big Saudi oil family who had deals with Bush family oil. Hmmm. Well, there are some connections, and a lot of money that winds up in the pockets of everyone involved. People have been convicted on less. If there were a Bush conspiracy, that would be treason, wouldn't it? It is, at the least, a treasonous profit.
Forget impeachment. If there were a Bush/Bin Laden conspiracy, that would mean a firing squad for good ol' G.W.B., but I am against the death penalty -- we do not want to unleash something like the French revolution, where the people got out of control in their revenge for the theft of their common wealth.
