Afghanistan - what are we fighting for?

Watch the video and ask yourself - just what are we fighting for in Afghanisatan?

This is an excerpt from an excellent series by John Pilger which is now available in five parts from our old friend AzowRagbak. To watch the entire series, go to:

For those who believe that Green politics is the way forward I suggest you read this:
Joschka Fischer, former leader of the German Green Party, and Foreign Minister, had signed up for a “six digit salary” as an adviser on the Nabucco Consortium which is to build a pipeline form the Caspian Sea region to the EU via Turkey see HERE. The then foreign minister Joschka Fischer, in 1999 supported the war in Yugoslavia, against the wishes of many rank and file party members. Later, they supported sending German troops to the Afghan war, also against the wishes of many rank and file party members. Though armed forces are extremely destructive in environmental terms, especially so during wars.
