Rethink Afghanistan

Hope you have a bunch of good event and use the film to organize!

anyone in Reno want to share gas costs and ride with me to this?.. its about 8 or 9 hour drive from here...

I saw this at the Redlands United Church of Christ on Sunday sponsored by Citizens Action for Peace. Very Thought Provoking. Check it Out (:

Rethink Afghanistan is a BRILLIANT Documentary that clearly makes the case for an end to our occupation in Afghanistan. It's completely non-productive and self destructive !

What was the last country to conquer Afghanistan? Don't say the Soviets or the Brits. Remember this is their country and they will defend it. We are the invaders this time, and they will run us out too. We would do the same if our soil was invaded.

Gareth Porter provides excellent ongoing coverage of the U.S. NATO war in Af. His columns can be found at www.counterpunch.com.

Thanks for the posts Pubali...I thinik someone should list each cabinet member of Karazi's government, each department head, so we know who they are and what is their background. It is insane to say "clean this up in 6 months or we may leave Afghanistan", as if we didn't know they have been corrupt since we put Karazi in as President 5 years ago... Read More. It is a smokescreen way to End the War, and if that happens, I'll be very happy. The press covers nothing except the press releases from the Pentagon and Defense Department. The stories are repeated on the evening news as if they are being "reported" instead of being repeated, sometimes verbatim. Keep the posts coming Pubali. I too am reading Malalai's book. Everyone in the Obama administration should read it, and everyone who cares about innocent lives in Afghanistan should read it also.

John: It wd be no use everyone in Bama's administration reading it. They know all this perfectly well already. The mistake is to think our foreign policy is a series of blunders. It is not. What is happening is what is meant to happen.

And when I came to the U.S., a Professor who specialized in Victorian Brit Lit insisted I spell "colour" "color" and "judgement" "judgment." This, I was told, was to help my readers understand. As for me, I am yet to understand why those prospective readers - reading graduate school papers, they wd presumably have some degree of education - wd be so ignorant of a world outside the U.S. that they would blanch at encountering "colour."

Aha. Nice pun, by the way. And thanks for turning me onto tomdispatch.com.

I love my country. I am an american. But first I am a human being. After watching this movie everything became clear after years of feeling and thinking something is very wrong.
i just couldn't put my finger on it. it was not clear. Everything I have always felt has now become clear to me. The question now is what to do about it. It seems we have two choices submit or resist. I choose to resist for all the human race. What will you do?

Exactly, Mr. Parry. See above posted link from TomDispatch Editor Nick Turse.

And I got to meet John Bakalian there, and I think he deserves his own award!
