War Casualties - Afghanistan

Nov 2001
WIth human rights organisations calling for an enquiry into the execution of Taliban prisoners involved in the revolt at the Qala-e-Jhangi fort, we consider the vast number of casualties left by this war. Despite America's attempts to play down claims of civilian casualties made by the Taliban, the pictures from Kabul tell a different story. The hospitals are full of men, women and children crippled by shell injuries, and one family mourns the loss of a newlywed couple killed in a bomb blast.

This makes me so sad how americans are sponsoring the killing of innocent people in afghanistan because of president Obama's "so-called" change.

All this war is about is oil and more oil.

I hate having to salute and honor my country when we (our government) are allowing this to happen all for greed.

I want this shit to end!!!!

Its the history of Afghani's that they have never surrendered. its been 10 years that they are fighting with a superpower alone and what is the result that america got out of it. USA has destroyed his own economy and killed innocent people. Perhaps USA want to focus China and Iran by having such a base camp. what do u say....

Robert B Asprey a marine captain who fought in Vietnam wrote a genius book, War In the Shadows The Guerrilla In History. In it he said:"Western countries have a long history of hypocrisy in the use of force." He also said:"Throughout history much of what politicians,generals, and the media call terrorism is actually counter terrorism, a reaction to military terrorism."
