To the enduring shame of every decent American, the United States viciously attacked the weakest, poorest nation in the world and recklessly slaughtered over 30,000 persons. Like former imperialistic invaders, we sought to make a docile puppet colony out of a suffering, destitute, medieval culture. America has no shortage of great crimes such as the genocide of the native American Indians. The rape of Afghanistan certainly ranks in the top five of those crimes. It was an irrational temper tantrum of the worst sort of extremism by the most vindictive and unbalanced tyrants. In the process of exploiting the nation, we sent in a gang of Marines. It’s well understood that the Marines are national suckers, saps who aren’t noted for ethics, intellect or maturity. If you want thinking or morality, don’t call the Marines. The first thing the Marines did was build a prison! Imprisonment is a kind of American mania, a national sickness; Land of Free? No way! The insane villainy of George W. Bush was to kill thousands of innocent persons in the hope of killing one guilty person, a horrendous war crime. In the Republican philosophy, it’s much more important to punish the “bad guy” than to protect the good guy. That’s called psychoses; what Hitler did in the ghetto; a disgrace! In the process of massacring thousands of innocent civilians, women, children and a few “terrorists” (whatever that may mean) we bombed some prisoners. We like to kill the helpless and the trapped. Several of the prisoners were American immigrants who had gone to Afghanistan in some misguided religious zeal. Religion is a dangerous delusion which seeks to justify nonsense and amorality, but Islam is certainly no dumber than Christianity, and Judaism is a moral wasteland. An American spy, a CIA “operative” was with the prisoners, torturing “confessions” out of them and “extracting” information. George W. Bush called the spy a “hero” when we bombed him. That’s modern “double speak.” The term “hero” no longer has a meaning. If a treacherous spy is a “hero,” what is the rescuer at the World Trade Center? One of the prisoners whom the spy “interrogated” was an American who became a cause celebre, Jonathan Walker. The young man, desperately wounded and suffering was, of course, thrown into prison. He was a “criminal.” He’d had the temerity not to allow the American bombs to kill him. If there was a crime, it was what we did to him, not what he did to us. Which of us was harmed by the pathetic Mister Walker? After the Marine androids build the prison, the FBI and more CIA “operatives” were shipped into the devastated country. Their heroic duty was to torture "confessions" and force information from the prisoners, maybe kill or maine a few as a message to other innocent victims. The FBI is a dangerous secret police force which for years has been used to crush American liberties. Torture and murder are right up their alley. Murder is a dastardly crime. Mass murder like the attacks on the World Trade Center is a crime of staggering evil, reprehensible and unjustifiable by any religious or political mania. What we did in Afghanistan was no less evil. If a murderer is thought to be hiding in your town, should the entire town be destroyed in the hope of killing the suspect? But, of course, it wasn’t your town. It was a helpless, foreign nation, and you don’t care about foreigners. Those Muslim Afghans don’t count as people to a Republican extremist. So you helped to slaughter them and those who didn’t have the good grace to die, your Marines imprisoned. What will you do when a drunken and violent President tells the few “good men” of the Marines to shoot you or imprison you? Every living person should be treated decently, ethically and with respect, even those we dont like at the moment. Killing people is always a bad thing to do.
