I was still very young when the Iran-Irak and later the Irak-Kuwait war
happened. But I talked with people - also from the Irak and my opinion is, that
the US are not innocent regarding the Iran-Irak war, they are not innocent
regarding the Irak-Kuwait war and they are directly to blame for what happened
in Afghanistan, and I am not talking about the war that we have now, I am
talking about the Taliban regime at the first place. And they are directly to
blame for some of other horrible wars we had recently or we still have right
now.

The war that we now have in Afghanistan may not be so much about the terrorists
or the Taliban regime, but rather about an oil pipeline. It might not be known
much that the USA also uses military to protect a certain oil pipeline in
Colombia.

A country as big as the USA may have the so-called 'right' to produce more shit
- but it has also in return the responsability. Right now they are not defending
their No. 1 status (against whom anyhow?) but using their power to the will of a
few very extreme politicians, where their interests lie strictly in industries
like the oil industry.

For the politicians it's not about patriotism, it's about money and election and
money and power and money.
