WAR IS MADNESS Expatica: Two Dutch soldiers were killed by their own troops, another soldier was severely wounded and lost both legs. Two allied Afghan soldiers were killed in the same incident. Which again shows the Dutch troops don't know what they are doing there. They are supposed to work at the reconstruction of Afghanistan. In the meantime more evidence pops up that shows the Dutch troops were involved in illegal activities. War is madness. The Dutch troops must get out of Afghanistan as soon as possible. Institutionalized contempt for truth degrades our entire political system. And that holds true for the larger part of 'democratic' countries. Politicians lie to start their wars and thus destroy democracy. And they are rewarded by the corporations that profit from wars. And when they have wreaked havoc in their own countries, they want to ruin Europe: Observer: "Tony Blair launched his campaign to become the first fully-fledged President of the European Union yesterday by describing the notion of left- and right-wing politics as redundant." God forbid! IHT: "The New York Times found 121 cases in which veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan committed a killing in the United States, or were charged with one, after their return from war. In many of those cases, combat trauma and the stress of deployment - along with alcohol abuse, family discord and other attendant problems - appear to have set the stage for a tragedy that was part destruction, part self-destruction." 11:52:19 AM
