Reply #30: It's a more complex situation than that, and the US isn't an angelic force fighting for "freedom"

[iconicgnom]

and "democracy" in all these countries it bombs.

For example, read this article:
RAWA communiqué on the International Women's Day, March 8, 2008
Afghan women burn in the inferno of
fundamentalists and invaders
http://www.rawa.org/events/mar8-2008_e.htm

"RAWA from the very first days stated that no country will grant freedom and democracy to another country and today this reality is evident to all. The US disguised the dead rats of yesterday with suits and ties thus released them like wild wolves on our people and are doing nothing about the current crimes, violation of human rights, looting of millions dollars of aid by warlords and corrupt NGOs. If the billions of dollars of aid directed in the name of reconstruction were not poured in the pockets of criminals in the parliament and cabinet, natural hazards like freezing winter would have not taken so many lives today. Even if a small portion of that money was spent for the relief of people, the life conditions of our miserable people, particularly women would have not been so tragic."
