The headline from the New York Times shifts the blame to NATO and makes it all sound sort of reasonable.
NATO Is Razing Booby-Trapped Afghan Homes
House got a bomb in it? Knock it down!
But…
Abdul Rahim Khan, 50, a tribal elder from Spirwan in Panjwai District, claimed that in many cases the American troops had been destroying empty homes, even when there were not any explosives inside. However, military officers pointed out, searching empty homes was often too dangerous.
House maybe got a bomb in it? Knock it down!
Village maybe got a bomb in it?
Destroy the whole village!
In Arghandab District, for instance, every one of the 40 homes in the village of Khosrow was flattened by a salvo of 25 missiles, according to the district governor, Shah Muhammed Ahmadi, who estimated that 120 to 130 houses had been demolished in his district.
“And not just Khosrow, but many villages,” says the governor of Arghandab District.
“We had to destroy them to make them safe.”

“They made a desert, and called it peace.”
Rather than killing 50% of the residents of a village in Vietnam, with “smart bombs” we have reduced that to 25% in Afghanistan.
The weapons makers, oil barons and bankers are playing cards at Monte Carlo. Obama stands behind them and urges them on. He has to smile if he wants to carry their chips.
He calls it politics, but it is killing for profit. He doesn’t hear the screams or see the blood. He shits in the presidential toilet with his smile of moral depravity, and his servants cook him dinner in the White House. A bloody, fcuking cesspool of slimy parasites conducting a symphony of madness. Right now I can’t say much more than fcuk it all!
…of Charley Manson’s stated reason for killing all those folk? Somrthing like:
~~I Had to kill them in order to prove to them that death does not exist!!!~~
we can’t let the smoking gun become a mushroom cloud, doncha think?
