USA:s krig är ett brott
Perssons anpasslighet en skam
Återigen bombar
världens rikaste och mäktigaste nation
. . .
Så skriver Erik Wijk i en ledare i

discredit the inspections"

Durandlinjen Δ
är den gränsdragning i Hindu Kush, vilken
verenskoms i Durandfrdraget 1893, och som
fortfarande utgr gränsen mellan Afganistan
och Pakistan. Avtalet skrevs under av härskaren
i Kabul fr Afganistan och av dåvarande
vicekonungen uti Brittiska Indien!
Hur som helst så medfrde kriget 1878-80
att området bebott av Pashtunstammen delades
tvärsigenom av Durand. "The
tribal area was divided into roughly equal spheres of
influence". På den brittisk-indiska
sidan (nuvarande pakistanska sidan) frekom sen
flera stamuppror men inga alls på den afganska
sidan. Folket som bodde där erkände aldrig
gränsen, de hade inte behov av någon
gräns där mr Durand drog den. Att
Pastunerna egentligen bort få ett eget land
— står väl numera klart
fr alla?
Durandlinjen
Uppdatering april 2003
En referens till läget i april 2003, från en amerikansk tidning:
For months, Afghan and US intelligence officials have warned about a regrouping of Al Qaeda and the Taliban on both sides of the porous Afghan-Pakistani border. More ominous still for the war in Afghanistan is the reported alliance of America's enemies with old friends from the Soviet war, namely the radical Islamist party Hizb-i Islami. Some leaflets signed by Hizb and Taliban leaders have even called on Muslims to join an all-out jihad or holy struggle against American forces timed to the beginning of America's war in Iraq.

Afghanistan. Die Koinzidenz der Ereignisse /Manhattan/ und die Hinweise auf den gleichen Urheber werfen ein grelles Licht auf das grosse Verhängnis Afghanistans: Ausgebeutet von der Kolonialmacht Grossbritannien, gedemütigt von russischen Besetzern, zerstrt von kriegslüsternen Stammesfürsten und schliesslich erobert von fanatischen im benachbarten Pakistan ausgebildeten Islamisten steht das bitterarme Gebirgsland heute im Brennpunkt des blutigen Konfliktes zwischen den Gross- und Supermächten und einem global operierenden Terror-Netzwerk, dass der halben Welt im Namen Allahs den Krieg erklärt hat.
Dass Bin Laden den Angelpunkt der aktuellen Eskalation darstellt, ist dabei keineswegs Zufall. Der reiche saudische Erbe und skrupellose Fanatiker ist genau jene Schlüsselfigur, die wie keine andere die verhängnisvolle Verstrickung Afghanistans in die Weltpolitik dokumentiert. Die Taten Bin Ladens und seiner Anhänger sind nicht zuletzt auch ein Preis für die Skrupellosigkeit, mit der die beiden Supermächte während des Kalten Krieges das Volk der Afghanen für ihre Zwecke instrumentalisierten.
Only justice, not bombs, can make our dangerous world a safer place
By Robert Fisk
We have gone on smashing away at the human rights we trumpeted at the Russians - and the Arabs - during the Cold War. We have perhaps fatally weakened all those provisions that were written into our treaties and conventions in the aftermath of the Second World War to make the world a safer place. And we claim we are winning.

The current US thinking leans towards equipping
select Pashtun tribes to fight the Taliban and
al-Qaeda. It is a controversial move that worries the
Pakistani military, as it might ignite violence in
the Pashtun regions inside Pakistan and fuel the
Pashtunistan demand.
Besides, Obana has bluntly warned that he would get
the US Special Forces to strike inside the Pakistani
territory if the security situation warranted.
Such moves will be seen by the Pakistani
military as a humiliating slap on its face. [ ...
]
What is more disconcerting for the Pakistani military
is the likelihood that Obana's "exit
strategi" will emphasize the rapid build-up of a
134,000-strong Afghan national army. [ ... ]
However, the law of diminishing returns begins to
work for the Pakistani military once an Afghan
national army gains traction. Indeed, an Afghan army
will, most certainly, be led by ethnic Tajik
officers. [ ... ]

How about the Durand Line Agreement?
The Tourist Map I have from the early 70's labels
the Pakistan side of the border as Pastunstan. The
Afghans Parliment has officially rejected the Durand
Line because:
1. It was coerced under the threat of continued
military aggression.
2. It was cosigned by an entity that no longer exists
British India.
Socialism, Afghanistan swung from a Benign
Parlimentary Monarchy to Socialism though a series of
coups. It was exactly when a progressive socialist
government was implementing Gender and Agrarian
equity that the USA armed rebelling regressive
reactionaries. Settting in motion twenty years of
massive warfare. And it was exactly when the Taliban
ended twenty years of warfare and pacified
Afghanistan that the USA attacked and initiated
another decade of (and still counting) warfare.
Asphalt, the Russians provided asphalt also and one
of the longest highest tunnels in the world linking
Kabul with the Soviet Union. As the Soviets retreated
through this miles long intermitent tunnel, the
Mujahdeen RPGed a petrol tanker at the head of the
column in the tunnel and proceded to massacre much of
the miles long convoy. Sorta like when they
slaughtered all but one soldier in the second
invasion by the British as the entire British army
retreated enmass. Christianity, Remember events often
have many causes, and the cabbie slasher was a
missionary embedded with the invaders. "Vanity
Fair" had an expose' on the fanatical
Christian group that many Politicians join when they
arrive in DC.

From wikipedia:
"...The single-page agreement which contains
seven short articles was signed by H. M. Durand and
Amir Abdur Rahman Khan, agreeing not to exercise
interference beyond the frontier line between
Afghanistan and what was then colonial British India
(now Pakistan).[1] A joint British-Afghan demarcation
survey took place starting from 1894, covering some
800 miles of the border.[2][3] The resulting
Durand
Line established the "Great Game" buffer
zone between British and Russian interests in the
region.[4] This poorly marked border cuts through the
Pashtun tribal area and lies in one of the most
dangerous places in the world.[5][6][7] Although
shown on most maps as the western international
border of Pakistan, it is unrecognized by
Afghanistan. ..." Note that it "cuts
through the Pashtun tribal area." Standard
imperial practice: create a "national"
border that breaks up or disrupts long-established
tribal relationships, fomenting dissension and
hostilities. If the Durand Line "is unrecognized
by Afghanistan," for the Pashtun it is mere
fiction. Thus the "porous"
"border" between Pakistan and Afghanistan;
for the Pashtun there is no such
"border."
(We find similar issues in "Kurdistan"
involving at least THREE "nations" having
significant Kurdish minorities. It would seem that
most Kurds seek their own nation, a fact that makes
for continuous tension to which pressure points may
be applied at will in many circumstances. (Some argue
that the imperialists who created these synthetic
borders were just ignorant of the relevant cultures;
others argue that it was intentional so as to retain
levers of power in the relevant regions.)
You be the judge. -30-
