Independent tallies have confirmed the claim of an Afghan human rights group that the U.S.-led NATO force has killed more civilians than the Taliban in the first half of this year. UN figures show at least three hundred fourteen civilians died in NATO bombings this year. Two-hundred seventy-nine were killed by the Taliban. The NATO figure does not include anywhere from forty-five to eighty-civilians reportedly killed in a NATO bombing in Helman province last week. The Los Angeles Times reports Afghan police recently barred journalists from the scene of a suicide attack on a US military convoy. The police officers explained: “Don’t go close. The Americans might shoot you.”

2. Ha!

Just wait till China really gets going and everyone can say "F**K you America, we're gonna sell our SH*T to China!" Then we'll be either the worlds largest third world nation, or the worlds leading resource for Middle Management.


It's just like in Iraq where the insurgency is giving more aid to families who have lost there homes than Americans. And then we wonder why mothers give their children to them. They know they'll get Fed!

3. Winning hearts and minds through mass murder doesn't seem to be working very well.

The monsters, the war industries and their operatives, find great profit in turning our nation's productive capability into weaponry are no doubt quite pleased. Every innocent murdered means five more militants to throw bombs at. And so on. Endless profit.
