War turns the moral order upside down and abolishes all discussions of human rights. War banishes the just and the decent to the margins of society. And the weapons of war do not separate the innocent and the damned.

U.S. Gen. McChrystal has asked for 40,000 additional troops in Afghanistan. President Obama must make a choice soon. NOW IS THE TIME TO ACT: preventing more combat troops from going to Afghanistan will be much easier than trying to bring them back.

"This is so cool! This is so cool!" a thirteen-year-old boy repeated as he squeezed rounds from a real M-16, picking off "enemy combatants" in a video game while perched atop a real Army Humvee. I just came to the mall to skateboard but killing is so cool

With Friends Like the US, Pakistan Doesn't Need Enemies - Washington's Clumsy Approach Sparks Civil War

Pakistan is paying an increasingly heavy price. Like a spate of previous Taliban attacks in recent days, today's mayhem in Lahore underscored fears that the principal consequence of Washington's Afghan paralysis is the further destabilisation of Pakistan.

After almost eight years of war, only now does the danger that we might "look increasingly like occupiers" rise to the surface. Since "occupier" is a role Americans just can't compehend. Let's agree that we are aliens, intent on destroying the planet?

They also say a simple strike at the country's nuclear capability wouldn't be enough -- the US would have to launch an "all-or-nothing" war against Iran with the aim of crippling the country's military capabilities...Is the GOP off the planet?

A US military aid program is being used by the Taliban as an extortion racket...Eikenberry, who is now the U.S. ambassador to Afghanistan, said, "There must be a way of producing bottled water in Afghanistan?"

David

Is the U.S. stepping up preparations for a possible attack on Iran's nuclear facilities? The Pentagon is always making plans, but based on a little-noticed funding request recently sent to Congress, the answer to that question appears to be YES!

Occupying Afghanistan Does Nothing But Make America LESS Safe. Didn't we already have a so-called troop "surge" in Afghanistan? Well it obviously didn't work. Not with a million troops, not in a million years! ACT NOW! Human life is in danger!

This is a critical moment in the debate over what to do about Afghanistan. The President is poised to make a decision in the next few weeks. Pro-war advocates are pushing for a much larger military footprint, without a clear exit strategy. But some power

"They haven't come here for Afghans or to take their hand and give them peace," Amirollah, 45, said of the Americans...Yet, despite Afghan wishes, the surge is on, as 4,000 US Marines have demonstrated with Operation Khanjar. Eternal war is OK with you?
