NATO airstrike kills 9 Afghan schoolchildren
NATO/US airstrike murders nine (9) children in Afghanistan; commander of US and international forces, General David Petraeus, offers “apology” to families, the nation and the WORLD – is this guy certifiably pathological or what?
General Petraeus, indifferent to 'collateral damage'
Questions avalanche in this latest criminal INFANTICIDE committed by invading Western forces – it’s not enough that the WORLD’S CRIMINAL COURTS IGNORE Drone attacks in the North West Frontier region in which hundreds of civilians are slaughtered, now we have airstrikes targeting children. The victims of these ‘precision attacks’ (so we are led to believe) were aged, 7, 8 and 12 years old, respectively. Had these unfortunate children been in their late teens they would have been labelled ‘Taliban,’ ‘insurgents’ or ‘militants,’ and the matter covered up, whether they were ‘armed’ with schoolbooks or collecting firewood!
Any military person would tell you instantly that the horrendous number of civilians killed by Western forces in Central Asia is the result of NATO/US conducting STATE WARFARE in a guerrilla campaign – there are no clearly defined targets in modern warfare, so let’s just kill ‘em all!
This most COWARDLY strategy, adopted CONSCIOUSLY by spineless Western commanders, speaks for itself – it’s a DISGRACE and tarnishes the uniforms that were once worn proudly by service men and women who fought just and honourable wars.
The countless murders NATO and US forces commit, almost daily, are SIMPLY WAR CRIMES and should be dealt with as such. But of course, the US and NATO have ENSURED that OUR ‘impartial’ LEGAL INSTITUTIONS only see what they are ordered to see – please note the convenient blindness of the Hague and other criminal courts to these war crimes!
As we are all acutely aware, these crimes are authorised at the highest levels of command, civilian and military. Participating nations and their civilian governments all stand condemned as child killers and murderers of innocents, most foul – that FACT is borne out almost daily!
There are no justifications for waging civilian killing warfare for CORPORATE and COMMERCIAL INTERESTS; no convention, statute or law legitimises acquisitive, Imperialist invasions, occupations and plundering!
The REAL SAD FACT is that Western governments represent the people and the buck stops NOT with puppet Presidents or servile Prime Minsters but with the PEOPLE! You see, and there is no AVOIDING this REALITY, WE ARE RESPONSIBLE! We can all take that TRUTH to our maker when the time comes.
However, it is also true that we ABLE to put an end to all this needless violence and place all criminals, regardless of position, under arrest for their overt crimes against humanity.
Do not look to ‘them,’ look to yourselves as the determining factor of the reality in which we live.
Peace.
