Why We Fight 2
Today is Friday, 13 March 2009.
Why We Fight was a series of Hollywood-manufactured propaganda films produced by the USA/USE government to promote its political line regarding the reasons for fighting World War Two.
We fight in Iraq so that the regime of Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki can imprison an Iraqi journalist, Muntadhar al-Zaidi, for the crime of throwing his shoes at W. Bush, protesting the latter’s creation of hundreds of thousands of Iraqi widows and orphans. Mr. al-Zaidi has already been tortured while awaiting trial, and can expect more of the same.
Mr. al-Maliki’s regime is best known, of course, for stratospheric levels of corruption, the refusal to deliver the most basic of public services, and the operation of numerous death squads from government ministries.
We fight in Afghanistan so reactionary cleric-dominated courts can sentence Parwiz Kambakhsh to twenty years in prison for downloading an Internet article containing “blasphemous” views on the role of females in Islam. Mr. Kambakhsh was fortunate: in his original trial, lasting minutes, at which he was refused the right to defend himself, he was sentenced to death.
The Afghan regime of President Hamid Karzai is best known, of course, for stratospheric levels of corruption, facilitation of the opium poppy and heroin industries (Karzai’s younger brother runs the family business in that sector), the refusal to deliver the most basic of public services, and brutal military incompetence.
