Kabul's Victors and the Vanquished

This article published today in Counterpunch (8/19) has already elicited some pretty harsh emails. It is written not to express support for the Taliban, but in an attempt to look at the situation free from imperial prejudices and assumptions. In terms of the situation in Afghanistan, let us remember that ending a war is almost as ugly as fighting one. The western media has an agenda that included supporting the US war on the Afghans, on the Iraqis, on the Vietnamese and a multitude of other peoples around the world. It has no legitimate right to say a damn thing about the havoc and fear in Afghanistan since it helped to create and maintain it. Besides my piece in today Cpunch, the lead article is by Vijay Prashad. I heartily recommend reading it along with mine. His analysis from India provides a clear and practical look at how a future might look in Afghanistan.
