“Erik Larson, with regard to your “documentation” –writing down untruths may make them documentation. It does not make them true.”

Everyone, note that this is Kessler’s rebuttal to the links i posted; check them and see for yourself if the sources linked here are credible. Most of this information is not in dispute, it’s just ignored by the corporate media and the govt (and much of the public), even as many of them are the sources of the information linked.

1984-1994: CIA Funds Militant Textbooks for Afghanistan
http://www.historycommons.org/context.jsp?item=a84textbooks#a84textbooks

“The US, through USAID and the University of Nebraska, spends millions of dollars developing and printing textbooks for Afghan schoolchildren. The textbooks are filled with violent images and militant Islamic teachings, part of covert attempts to spur resistance to the Soviet occupation. For instance, children are taught to count with illustrations showing tanks, missiles, and land mines. Lacking any alternative, millions of these textbooks are used long after 1994; the Taliban are still using them in 2001. In 2002, the US will start producing less violent versions of the same books, which President Bush says will have “respect for human dignity, instead of indoctrinating students with fanaticism and bigotry.” (He will fail to mention who created those earlier books).”

Nafeez Ahmed – “Ties With Terror: The Continuity of Western-Al-Qaeda Relations in the Post-Cold War Period”
http://www.911blogger.com/node/2966

Note- I reject violence; it is immoral and illegal, and besides that, it’s ineffective- and any terrorist organization started by genuine ideologues can be sure of being infiltrated and broken up- or co-opted and used by Western intelligence agencies, as they have a long history of doing. I am posting here as this website is being indexed by Google NEWS for some reason, and to further dialogue between the People of the Middle East and the West. This is the Network Age, technology is breaking down barriers and creating new avenues for truth, justice, information and communication. Together we can document problems and find solutions.

But assuming it were true —

Helping the forces in Afghanistan defeat the Red Army was instrumental in bringing about the collapse of the Soviet Union. It is almost twenty years now since the dissolution of the USSR, so many people, particularly young people, have forgotten what the Cold War was.

The United States and the Soviet Union both had ICBM’s with nuclear bombs on them sufficient to produce something like 16 to 20 times overkill for their own populations and more than enough to kill everybody on the planet more than once. The weapons for nuclear exchange were on a hair-trigger for more than thirty years. The posture was called MAD, for Mutually Assured Destruction. The entire human race had a pistol to its head for a generation.

It was shown in the book “The Fate of the Earth” by Jonathan Schell that a full nuclear exchange would have led to a nuclear winter. Everyone everywhere who was not killed by the exchange itself or the radiation contamination from it, would have died of starvation from global crop failures afterward.

The collapse of the Soviet Union brought an end to MAD. American and Russian cities are no longer ground zero for huge arrays of atomic weapons. The world can go on for future generations.

Compared to that, a handful of religious fanatics running around in the mountains of Afghanistan are not much to worry about. Even the destruction of the World Trade Center was a pinprick compared to what Soviet nuclear weapons could have done.

Which is why Iran, not Iraq or Afghanistan, is what we and the world ought to be thinking about. In 1945 the United States dropped atomic bombs on Japan because they had attacked our naval base at Pearl Harbor in peacetime. If a nuclear weapon were used against us, even a small one, do you imagine that any person would remain alive anywhere in Iran afterwards? That is a future well worth avoiding.

I was hoping there would never be a similar situation again. Before 9/11, this seemed possible. Now America and Europe are getting more and more paranoid about Islam. Guess who pays the price.

But the war against the Soviets was fought by American money. That was the money that armed and trained the militants. So if now the same gun is being pointed at the people who supported this military armament in the first place, whom should the blame go to ? Shouldn’t American dollars share a certain percentage of the blame ?
