Reads as though she's got an agenda. Bring it on and we'll see what she actually knows. I look forward to the trial as we're talking about an area that has seen chemical warfare between Iran and Iraq, oil wells destroyed, and some of the world's worst ecological destruction owing to man-made carbon-based pollutants, i.e. oil and natural gas burnoff.
That's even assuming that cancer and defective birth rates are as claimed.
Then there's the fascinating claim of "depleted-uranium bombs". What the hell are those? I know only of DU-based APFSDS tank ammunition. Not bombs. She reads as very ill-informed but since when has the facts been a paramount concern in that area?
Thanks.
If it makes you more comfortable to think we invaded Afghanistan ove some damn pipeline, so be it but you'll be far from the truth. Most whom benefit from CAR energy are countries other than America.
According to the reports, during the first year of the US and British invasion of Iraq, both countries had repeatedly used bombs containing depleted uranium.
According to Iraqi military experts, the US and Britain bombed the country with nearly 2,000 tonnes of depleted uranium bombs during the early years of the Iraq war.
Atomic radiation has increased the number of babies born with defects in the southern provinces of Iraq.

"the article I send you to is to tell you that she believes that the warlord appointed by the US,is still no different."
You miss MY point. The woman is a member of a parliament of an Afghanistan in which she couldn't have had ANY voice previously. There was no parliament and women had NO voice. Afghanistan's politics are highly imperfect. No kidding. So too Pakistan's.
But it starts with imperfect politics. Education and continuously scheduled elections are the key to transformation and it won't be radical nor overnight any more than it shall in Pakistan. It will be evolutionary change.
Absent such, however, you have no alternative as a citizen of either but to be ruled by the power of the gun. Plain and simple. Those are your alternatives. In Afghanistan democracy will be supported or it shall be a theocratic autocracy that is medieval. In point of fact, the largest warlords in Afghanistan are the taliban. For Pakistan, democracy or a return to another military junta.
Democracy offers the hope of change consistent with the desires of the populace. Neither of the other two are paths forward. The evidence of such is before you with respect to both already.
Thanks.
Parashuram1,
Just incase you forgot, let me remind what happened in 80s, 90s. US was having affairs with these very same people they are killing now. US was in bed with them in 80s & 90s, read a bit of history. It was CIA who funded and used these groups for their own interest.
There is a reason why so many people are against US actions. They deserve each & every bit of criticism they get. You shouldn't be expecting flowers in return when you throw stones at others.
