Afghanistan: Not a Good War
Every war has a story line. World War I was "the war to end all wars." World War II was "the war to defeat fascism."Iraq was sold as a war to halt weapons of mass destruction; then to overthrow Saddam Hussein, then to build democracy. In the end it was a fabrication built on a falsehood and anchored in a fraud. But Afghanistan is the "good war," aimed at "those who attacked us," in the words of columnist Frank Rich. It is "the war of necessity," asserts the New York Times, to roll back the "power of Al Qaeda and the Taliban." Posted by: GolfBravoUSMC 2008-08-04 |
