the U.S.-led imperial invasion http://usa.mediamonitors.net/content/view/full/74784

"Without an army to fight, and no defensible political objectives to attain there can be no war! Nevertheless, the press and our governments continue to go to great lengths to present the operation as necessary for peace....If we compare the farrago in Afghanistan to the 19th-century expansionism of Germany—Prussia, really—I see little reason to object to Chancellor Otto von Bismarck’s limited wars of aggression against Denmark (1863), Austria (1866) and France (1870) to expand and consolidate Prussian power. The losing sides might disagree, but the decision to launch these wars for selfish national motives was rational, calculated and efficient."

After nine years, the U.S.-led imperial invasion force is still there. Now we’re told the mission is to rebuild Afghanistan, fight the Taliban and “bring democracy” to the Afghan people. Since when is that the job of an army?! We are rebuilding a country that we destroyed; the Taliban is not an army; and exporting democracy is a noxious euphemism for subjugation.
