Rethink Afghanistan needs to rethink the title of this piece. If you are already starving, getting displaced is the least of your problems.

The Empire does not care about poor and powerless folks. They are "collateral damage" of imperial policy. The Empire will bring civilization to these savages, even if it has to slaughter, maim and displace thousands to do it.

Now Caesar Obama is escalating imperial aggression and destruction, how is that for change?

We the people need to start sending video attachments to the people in congress and the president. The madness needs to stop now. We are definitely witnessing mission creep. What was an attack on al qaida has moved to an attack on the taliban and is now an attack on the afghan people. Looking for the so called bad guy is never a good reason to attack and kill innocent people. We have destroyed whatever rule of law those people had, however flowed those laws were.
