> an angry U.S. Secretary of Defence Robert Gates accused some Europeans of not being prepared to "fight and die" in Afghanistan in the battle against the Taliban.
The undiplomatic Gates is quite right. Most Europeans regard the
Afghan conflict as a) wrong and immoral; b) America's war; c) all
about oil; or d) probably lost.
To many Europeans, the NATO alliance was created to deter the real
threat of Soviet aggression, not to supply foot soldiers for George
Bush's wars in the Muslim world.
While Gates and the Harper government were pleading for more troops,
the commander of the 40,000 NATO troops in Afghanistan, U.S. Gen. Dan
McNeill, landed a bombshell. If proper U.S. military counter-
insurgency doctrine were followed, McNeill admitted, the U.S. and NATO
would need 400,000 troops to defeat Pashtun tribal resistance in
Afghanistan. < ......
> CONSCRIPTION
Final point. If impassioned claims by U.S. and Canadian politicians
that the little Afghanistan war must by won at all costs, then why
don't they stop orating, impose conscription, and send 400,000
soldiers, including their own sons, to fight in Afghanistan?
Of course they won't. They prefer to waste their own soldiers, and
grind up Afghanistan, rather than admit this war against 40 million
Pashtun tribesmen was a terrible mistake that will only get worse. <
***************************************
Of course . . the rich shall never permit the conscription of
"their"sons and daughters.
Such sacrifices are reserved for the sons and daughters of those who
lack knowledge of the law sufficient to act on their lawful duty to
refuse to participate in or otherwise support such madness.
Speaking of which . . .
The Tax Refusal is built on one argument:
That "The Rule Of Law" is based on the duty of all to
refuse to be party to murder.
Indeed:
"Äll have a lawful duty to refuse to support their society if that
society is participating in plans and preparations that are
predicated
on a will and capacity to be party to mass murder."
Ergo: The Tax Refusal can't be defeated.
It continues to grow and shall achieve its stated goal.
Thank you.
To a safer, saner and more caring world.
To Duty.
