"Wars spread, that is a fact.
Perhaps that borders are man made is one reason.
That the Afghan war is increasingly engulfing Pakistan is more of a reality every day.
Der Spiegel has an interview with a long time ‘Pakistan’ expert RASHID is saying we are witnessing a spreading regional war which will engulf Iran, as if by way of Pakistan. One can guess this can be seen as preferable to facing Iran head on. Another article depicts a Proxy war between India and Pakistan in Afghanistan. Doesn’t it all have a ‘ring of truth’? The signature tune of the imperialists? And so easy to stoke!
Pakistan’s former Army Chief [said] Iran and Pakistan are under the siege of western conspiracies. The intelligence agencies of the coalitional forces are very active in Afghanistan and work against the interests of Iran, Pakistan, China and Russia in the region, he said
Regardless of the Neocons ability to militarily overwhelm, say in Pakistan. Is it not only a matter of time till they bite off more than they can chew? Till they just create a massive combined enemy? Most would probably concur.
And ’so what’ if the rogues and villains want to destabilize other countries?
Well I for one would rather not be in the have nots group.
This is one very good reason to protest the seemingly ritual slaughter perpetrated by our countries. The only profiteers now are the ones who sell their souls. Not you and me.
In reality all that is happening is China goes around the world and picks up the pieces. See Yemen, Somalia and also Pakistan.
Our elites intellectuals are clever and they could equally profit in a Peaceful environment, yet those at the very top, at least those in the public eye, are seen as increasingly rotten.… documents obtained by the American Civil Liberties Union have Rumsfeld, in his own words, checking in on the sexualized humiliation of prisoners.
Instead of terrifying the weak and or independent, why don’t they throw off their own warlords?! (Averting Catastrophe: When the Leaders are the Problem, Daniel Ellsberg) Well granted it is dangerous, and unilateral action is not an option for the hard core involved otherwise one ends up like Vanunu or Pollard. I think Pollard refused to spy.
Now that is food for the dual loyalists arguments.
In these times we also need guardian angels.
