There's no need for us to go to Afghanistan. Nobody with any knowledge of the situation would deny that Afghanistan is crawling with nasties. But that's not the the point.

The point is: Why? How did it get this way? How did the nasties get there? Who supports them? And whose bidding are they doing?

When we say "al Qaeda is fictional", we don't mean there are no terrorists. Clearly there are; in Afghanistan, Pakistan and many other countries, people are suffering because of terrorist attacks. What we mean is that almost everything our government and media have ever told us about al Qaeda has turned out to be false.

The Mujahideen "Islamic terrorist" network that has crippled Afghanistan was created by American "national security" wonks, headed by Zbigniew Brzezinsky, who just happens to be one of Barack Obama's foreign policy advisors. Brzezinsky was Jimmy Carter's National Security Advisor at the time. Brzezinsky and Carter wanted to lure the Soviet Union into invading Afghanistan. And it worked.

Carter was a Democrat whose administration was known for its support of "human rights". And yet Carter aparently had no second thoughts about fomenting terrorism in a foreign country halfway around the world, in order to provoke a foreign invasion of that same country -- and all the horrific brutality that entailed. It's a despicable part of America's secret history -- but given the current situation, where our "new" president wants to "surge" in Afghanistan -- it is entirely relevant.

Also relevant is the undeniable fact that al Qaeda (i.e. Osama bin Laden) was falsely blamed for the 9/11 attacks, which started the current round of horrors. Also relevant is the fact that our government routinely lies to us about this and everything else -- and then tells us we will never understand the threats they are supposedly dealing with on our behalf.

The Mujahideen may think they are martyrs doing glorious deeds by bombing convoys and hotels and such, in order to get the Americans to leave. But they are killing innocent people as well as the occasional occupier, and far from pushing the Americans out, they are giving the Americans a pretext for staying -- or surging! -- to "stabilize" the country. But the fact is, Americans DE-stabilized Afghanistan, deliberately, for policy reasons. And they bombed and invaded Afghanistan in 2001, based on a thick stack of lies, and they will continue to do things like this -- to Afghanistan, to Pakistan, and to other countries too -- for as long as all these lies remain standing.
