Afghanistan, die Luft wird dicker

Achso^^
Also ist es nur eine Theorie? Kann so sein.
HIer etwas was deine Theorie bestaetigt:
In Helmand, and elsewhere in the south, the illegal opium trade—which the UN estimated to be worth $3.4 billion at export last year, or 33% of GDP—has also been incendiary. British troops in the fertile Helmand river valley, which alone produces more sticky opium resin than any nation, have been unwitting pawns in drug wars involving tribes, government officials and the Taliban, who get perhaps a third of their income from taxing the trade.

“We’re caught in the middle and we’re sick of it,” said Ghafoor, a resident of Ahmadkhel village in Paktia—where he claimed 60 civilians had been killed in on-off fighting between Americans and militants. “We need security. But the Americans are just making trouble for us. They cannot bring peace, not if they stay for 50 years.”
Aber unser Stuff erzaehlt hier uns wie sehr die Afghanen die Besatzer moegen...
Across Afghanistan, but especially in the mainly-Pushtun south and east (Pushtuns making up about 43% of this multi-ethnic population), resentment against the foreign-funded government of President Hamid Karzai, the NATO-led force that protects it, known as ISAF, and Westerners in general, is growing.
...
Civilian casualties of the fighting, of which there have been over 1,000 this year, are another source of resentment—and another motive for the insurgency in Pushtun society, where vengeance is justice. Nearly 60% of these deaths were in fact caused by the Taliban and allied Pushtun militants, through their increasing use of terrorist tactics, including over 90 suicide-blasts in Afghanistan this year. But misdirected American air strikes, which have many times destroyed wedding-parties and sleeping villagers in Afghanistan—for example, in western Farah province in May when at least 63 civilians were killed—are the main focus for Afghan rage. Acknowledging this, Mr Karzai on the campaign trial has often been critical of foreign troops.
....
Afghans, who welcomed this Kafir intervention in 2001 with outstretched arms, tell stories of American and British soldiers barging into cloistered Pushtun women’s quarters, at night, with unclean dogs. If often exaggerated, these tales are rooted in truth. Casual detentions of thousands of Afghan men, on no good evidence, have also done damage. In his Kabul home, Abdul Salam Zaeef, the Taliban’s black-bearded former ambassador to Pakistan, describes with disbelief the interrogations he endured during three-and-a-half years in Guantánamo Bay. “They said: ‘You are Mullah Omar, you are al-Qaeda, you are a drug-dealer, you are a gold-dealer…’”
....
Between 2002 and 2006 in southern Uruzgan, for example, American special-forces soldiers were persuaded by the controversial then-governor, Jan Mohammad Khan, that a rival Pushtun tribe, the Ghilzais, supported the Taliban. In the mayhem that ensured, this soon became a self-fulfilling prophecy.
....
By the government’s estimate—unreliable as it may be—the Taliban and other Pushtun militant groups may be able to call on 25,000 fighters. Yet there is at least reason to fear, on the evidence of Helmand alone, that foreign troops are now creating more conflict than they can possibly quell. As an argument for ramping up Afghan security forces—which he later sought to contradict—the Afghan army’s spokesman, Major-General Zahir Azimi, acknowledged this. “Where international forces are fighting, people think it is incumbent on them to resist the occupiers and infidels. This feeling is strong in the south and east and it may spread to other places.”
Das ist jetzt mal einer der ehrlichsten Artikel die ich aus westlichen Medien gelesen habe, doch ein Propaganda bleibt trotzdem:
The re-election of Mr Karzai, a clear favourite in this week’s vote, would in part be an expression of that desire. A small-time leader in the anti-Soviet jihad, from a noble Pushtun family, he was installed as Afghanistan’s leader by America in 2001....bla...bla...
Das Wort "election" ist schon falsch, denn es handelt sich nich um wahlen sondern um: "wer besser bezahlen und betruegen kann".
Das fettgedruckte stimmt aber^^
Naja, trotz des bisschen Propaganda am Schluss, ist das ein guter objektiver Artikel den ich jeden empfehlen kann, wenn er aufs neuste updated sein will.
