US Responsible for the Killing Fields of Afghanistan

By: Kayhan Int’l 

Death is a cause of grief and not an occasion to rejoice. And if death occurs, not through the natural process of old age, deadly disease, or accidents, but through the devilish machinations of fellow humans, such as murder, war, terrorism, and bomb blast, the shock and grief is multiplied and leaves deep scars on the memories of the survivors of such incidents, especially the bereaved family.

Unfortunately, because of the bloodshed that has become common throughout the world these days because of the criminal and terrorist policies of the Great Satan (US), people are being killed for no reason or rhyme. 

It seems the Muslim countries have become the prime victims of Washington’s culture of wars and arms exports that continues to unleash torrents of blood in Yemen, Syria, Afghanistan, Libya, Occupied Palestine and other lands, where untimely and unnatural deaths lurk around the corner.

The other day, the UN released figures of the casualty toll for American-occupied Afghanistan, where at least 3,812 civilians have been killed or wounded in the first half of the current Christian year, 2019, shocked the world.

Though terrorists and acts of terrorism are rife in Afghanistan, most of the civilians killed, including women, children, and the elderly, were by the US-led NATO troops. 

The UN Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) called the toll "unacceptable”, and urged parties to the 18-year American war to find ways to end the killings.

It is obvious no one will heed the World Body’s call. Besides being weak and ineffective, the UN is a mere spectator to not just the bloodletting but the terrorist ranting of a criminal like the US president, Donald Trump, who recently implied that he could win the war in Afghanistan in a week by massacring – through weapons of mass destruction – at least ten million Afghans.

If there was justice in our world, Trump would have now been executed by the guillotine, hung on the gallows, or executed on an electric chair, not just for threatening to wipe out Afghanistan, but for his economic terrorism against the Islamic Republic of Iran and military threats against the free world from the Pacific Ocean to the Persian Gulf.

The megalomaniac who overrules the Senate’s decision to stop arms supplies to the Wahhabi cult of Saudi Arabia for the mass massacres in Yemen, is responsible for the deaths of not just the ordinary Afghan civilians, killed either by the jittery government forces and the various terrorist groups which continue to receive ever- increasing supply of American weapons, but also for the deaths of the two hapless US soldiers killed on Tuesday in Qandahar – by whoever, it doesn’t matter.

We are not happy at the killings, of even those whose governments oppose us, and we believe that US soldiers in Afghanistan – or for that matter in other place such as Syria, Iraq, Bahrain, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan – should not return to their families as corpses in body bags. 

They should leave, while there is still life in them, rather than compelling the resistant forces to send them home lifeless. 

The moment CENTCOM terrorists leave our part of the world, peace will definitely return, and neither tension will prevail in the region nor the killing fields exist anymore in Afghanistan.

In other words, as long as the US continues to meddle in the affairs of Afghanistan, there won’t be any relief from the sudden and unexpected deaths lurking around the corner, and this means the talks the Americans claim to be holding with the Taliban are nothing farcical.
