Well, it seems to be hot and cold when it comes to the President of Afghanistan. One minute he is asking us for more money, asking us for more assistance, and wanting protection for himself and his family. The next minute he tells us that he would rather support our enemies in Iran than assist us in our fight against terrorism, or if there were ever a war between Pakistan and the United States, that he would definitely side with Pakistan. Okay so let's talk about this for a moment because there was something interesting recently in the news.
We all know the challenges with the burning of Korans in the military prison in Afghanistan, where Islamic radical prisoners had made notes in the margins of these religious texts on it how to kill Americans, and where in the religious work it stated that it was okay to do such things. Because of these notations those Korans were thrown into an incinerator on the property. Then there was retaliation, and more insurgent and terrorist attacks.
After that, a decorated soldier took it upon himself to deliver street justice, killing many civilians. Then the President Karzi of Afghanistan said that the United States was at the end of its rope, and he wanted us to leave. Perhaps, he's trying to play both sides in the media because if he sides with the Americans at this time of crisis, he himself will be considered unfit to lead by the people. Never mind the fact that it undermines what we are doing their, and can incite more violence against the United States, rather than defusing the situation.
In fact, from a mass psychology perspective one could say he is instigating further attacks against the United States in Afghanistan and justifying them to anyone who wishes to carry out such a deadly mission. Therefore, the other day I was discussing this with an international diplomatic consultant. I suggested that perhaps next time Karzai demands that our US military leave Afghanistan we should simply announce to the media that President Karzai will remain unprotected by the US military for one week starting on this date at this time, until this day at that time.
Some might say that would be a crazy notion because President Karzai could be killed by his own people. Indeed, that might happen, but it probably wouldn't because he would have himself protected by his own group of security people. But he certainly wouldn't feel very safe during that time, and that would mean, we would have made our point.
In reality he's not making us very safe by lambasting the US military in the media to the people of Afghanistan. At some point President Karzai needs to decide whose team he is on, and if he isn't on our team, I don't want my tax dollar paying for whatever he thinks he's doing there.
No more games!
Indeed I hope you will please consider all this and think on it.
