When foreign policy is well-reasoned, we see attention given to humanitarian issues like housing, jobs, health care and education. When that policy consists of applying a military solution to a political problem, however, we see death, destruction, and suffering. Director Robert Greenwald witnessed the latter during his recent trip to Afghanistan--the devastating consequences of U.S. airstrikes on thousands of innocent civilians.
The footage you are about to see is poignant, heart-wrenching, and often a direct result of U.S. foreign policy.
We must help the refugees whose lives have been shattered by U.S. foreign policy and military attacks. Support the Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan, an organization dedicated to helping women and children, human rights issues, and social justice. Then, become a Peacemaker. Receive up-to-the-minute information through our new mobile alert system whenever there are Afghan civilian casualties from this war, and take immediate action by calling Congress.

Gee, I could have sworn from all you other remarks/videos you have in your profile, that you'd be Palestinian, but with a name like longlivepalestine, it's easy to see I was mistaken.
Civilians die, it's the nature of war. In no war in the world, was there a ever a one without civilian casualties. But when the force you're facing (Taliban) cowardly disguise themselves as civilians it's going to happen more frequently.
And I was taught Pashto, but I don't speak it very well.
What cities have you gone to? Can you even speak Dari or Pashto?
I've been all over the Middle East.
I'm glad you assisted Afghans, but just because you were not involved in the brutal air strikes it doesn't mean that they don't happen. Civilians die and suffer from dramatically from this war.
Here's how life went for me. I served my country by supporting the MI element. ON MY OFF TIME I was assisting the AID for the Afghan people. I would go outside the wire to provide food, water, cloth, blankets, even toys to the local people and training for the police (ANP). We fired upon those ONLY if fired upon first. And sometimes we would just roll on by. We did not risk wasting injury for a nugget with small arms fire. We only stopped and fought for IED threats and RPG threats.
I am brainwashed? Right, because I'm the one believing a media produced speech from a British Ambassador.
Again, you trying to tell someone who has FIRST HAND EXPERIENCE of what the country what is real and what is not. Once you are in Afghanistan, then you can tell me what is real and what is not.
You've been brainwashed into thinking that the war is justified.
Listen to the former British ambassador to Uzbekistan. He used to be just like you until he found out that the US and UK were responsible for torturing Afghans and other "combatants" in secret prisons.
He said parents had to watch their children being tortured. People being boiled alive.
It's interesting that the Taliban visited Texas in 1997 to discuss oil pipeline deals in Afghanistan. I thought we hated them?
I see, so because someone makes a personal internal decision, external influences are at fault. That's called being weak.
What other people say or do, does not change how I think, what I do and what I say. Especially internet jockey's that had never even been to the place of which we are currently debating. That is called being ignorant.
Truth can only be Heard, if you know what it is. But you fabricate your truth only from what has been told to you (media/friends/etc.) That is NOT truth.
Really? Because our last mission trip to Nigeria, shows a great respect to women and children. We (my church, not my unit) just put in a well for clean water under constant threat. In China, female babies are put to death and/or abandoned to die on their own. And porn comes out of many parts of the world. I've even seen Muslim produced porn.
Next time use an argument that you can blame solely on the US.
9/11 was a bunch a barbarians that hate we have a better life with equality to everyone.
America if you can tell you are civilians or who are you fighting; then please let this people be. Please let them be. You may be making this situation worst by being there.

President Andrew Jackson saw the Zionist Jew and Apocalyptic Zionist Christian pagan scum for what they were, and expelled the lot in 1836.
For 71 years you had a country, until second Rothschild currency reserve was established, then you were enslaved again and are to this day.
This vid shows how Yankee thugs broke every rule of engagement in war, and still lost.
The gallant Afgahni people broke two invading empires.

You have no idea what you're talking about.

If you really cared about them, you'd leave.
