Read the lines said by the NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg with all your eyes and ears open. If needed read it twice because as an Afghan I was infuriated when I read it!

“NATO went into Afghanistan to prevent terrorists from using the country again to attack us,” Stoltenberg said, but despite that “we must recognize that, over the years, the international community set a level of ambition that went well beyond the original aim of fighting terrorism,” he added.

I don’t know if you got what I meant but what does he mean by ‘prevent terrorists from using the country again to attack us! What a narrow understanding of global ‘war on terrorism’ and what a shameful and inhuman understanding of ‘us’ which was only limited to the United States peace.

I want to ask Stoltenberg, ‘what about the Afghans’? And what about the ‘20 years of Afghan suffering and them longing for peace’? What was your aim of ‘global war on terrorism’ when you had to eventually bail out the top and inhuman Taliban leaders from the jails of the Bagram base? How do you justify your aim of ‘global war on terrorism’ because this was the exact excuse with which you entered my country and without any permission! Okay fine there was no ‘elected government’ at that time but who gave you the permission to stay back after killing Osama Bin Laden? What was this US invasion of Afghanistan about because it was you who made back door deals with the Taliban! You gave them identity and recognized them, you shoveled down the peace deal on the throats-of the Afghans! You played the same game you played in Iraq, Vietnam, and Syria but we Afghans were stupid enough to not understand this. We were stupid enough to not understand that wars and printing dollars are the two main incomes sources for the US economy.

The US became so rich after producing arms for the entire world during WWII that nowadays is a junkie country that loves wars because its economy depends importantly on waging wars.
