Afghanistan: Why Civilians are Killed
The Nation / James Petras
12-Jun-2011 (one comment)

  Weddings are bombed because combatants attend weddings – along with hundreds of relatives and friends. Villages are bombed because peasants cultivate crops, which contribute to the resistance. Civilian shelters become military sanctuaries. Afghanistan is polarized: the US military versus a people in arms. Faced with this reality, the real policy of NATO-Pentagon is to rule or/and ruin… Washington knows that with each withdrawal (or retreat), the terrain, the towns and villages are occupied by resistance fighters who emerge from everywhere. The best that the US-NATO politicians can negotiate is a safe orderly departure. The best that they can hope is that their local collaborators do not defect or flee abroad prematurely turning over billions of dollars in military ordinance to the resistance. The best the collaborators can hope is that they will secure an exit route, a visa, an overseas account and a comfortable second home abroad. What is absolutely clear is that the US, NATO and its collaborators will have no role to play in the newly independent Afghanistan.

of the title of above article easily. When there is a news about killing NATO members in Afghanistan, stay attentive normally within 24 hours you get a confirmation of a NATO strike on a 'Taliban' target with many killed. Only hours after that you will hear from independent observers that the target was a house and the dead were defenseless women, men and children of a household or in a wedding or a morning ceremony.

Targeting civilians or 'collective punishment' in retaliation for a military loss is a hallmark of Zio-Terrorists who have deployed such tactics on Palestinians for decades. When US forces quickly realized that they were in deep trouble in asymmetric warfare in Iraq, naturally the Zio-Terrorists were called in to train US troops on their tactic. Targeting civilian population as a collective punishment was one such training and has been an unspoken part of war strategy of the US/NATO in both Iraq and Afghanistan ever since.

So, pay attention to the news over a span of time rather than concentrating on its instantaneous impact especially in wars against Muslims, that is, in Iraq and Afghanistan!
