3 fine minds (& my own) cut through the BS about why "we" are rampaging across Afghanistan. STEVE FOURNIER questions why H. Clinton calls suicide bombers "cowards" while the US is bombarding wedding parties with drones controlled from Nevada. DAVID MODEL (read aloud by me) lucidly explains the real reason for this war. In a brilliant speech, Afghan activist MALALAI JOYA denounces the cruelty and hypocrisy of Bush, Obama, Karzai, the warlords, NATO, and the Taliban.
