Eric Margolis: Manley report on Canada's role in Afghanistan justifies failing mission

Wednesday January 23rd, 2008

As contributing editor for The American Conservative and Sun Media, and Founding Committee member of The Real News Network Eric Margolis says: "The reason I was drawn to [The Real News] was the fact it seemed to me to be the voice that I and many others had been looking for."

  • The US ignored their offer. We all know that OBL did not bring down the towers - over 240 American Architects and Engineers have stated that the Towers were brought down by controlled demolition - implicating people who had access to the buildings.

  • Why is Canada in Afghanistan? It wasn't the Taliban that brought down the WTC on 9/11. They even offered to hand over Osama bin Laden right after 9/11 if evidence against him was given to them.

  • Yes there is turn that country into sheet of glass with nukes kill all them crazy people get it over with.

  • You are wrong. The B-29 never flew in Europe. You are making up history.

  • But they did! I am Romanian and I know very well what these pilots did... In 1943 and 1944 Romania was bombed by B 29 formations. Instead ti help Romania they bombed it. In 1940, French, Uk and USA deinteresed of Romani fate and abandoned it to URSS and Nazi Germany. No excus for you.... Consider you are judged. The sentence is to be performed...

  • You should buy a history book and a book on political science. Americans ("pilots of jet fighters") did not bomb Romania, the war in Korea was initiated by the North Koreans, Vietnam & Iraq, no argument, Yugoslavia was in support of UN resolutions to stop the fighting/genocides and in Afghanistan in self defence (remember that whole 9/11 thing/). As for Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the body count would have been much higher if the USA had invaded.

  • .... these pilots are most to be condemned, as they have a superior education and perception about the life, politics and so on... They have no excuse before the ALMIGHTY GOD, as no excuse don't have the senators and commandants who approoved these mass crimes. And if American people want to have a clear consciousness, then it may to rise up and accuse the policy of those who are the ennemies of LIFE , TRUTH and belief, the Zionists.

  • This question should first of all asked to American pilots of jet fighters who bombed in ROMANIA, Coreea, Vietnam, Iraq, Ygoslavia, Afghanistan, an so for.... and to those who bombed hiroshima and Nagasaki, killing over a half million of people without to charged by no court. And now others bomb again in Afghanistan and that for wahat? For big salaries, for luxury...

  • This "TheRealNews" stuff is just sensationalized social liberalism.

  • No solution that implies a lack of respect for the dignity, autonomy and freedom of people is ever going to succeed in the long run. Even a summary review or world history sholud prove this. We could instead try to rediscover the importance of ethics in social and economical development as a way out of this world crisis.

  • afghanistan has never been conquered besides nato does not even have half the troop strength of the red army in the 80s.

  • better trained soldiers, better equipment, better tactics.....
