HERE THEY GO AGAIN!
Part of the U.S. Counterinsurgency programs (going back to the early days after WWII) is to arm a certain part of the population against the other.
This especially found its fruits under the new counterinsurgency programs in Iraq, known as the 'Sunni Awakening'
One would have to seriously ask:
How much more violence and corruption does the U.S. Plan to inflict upon the Afghan people.
Was it not the arming of the various „liberation groups“ against the Soviet Army in Afghanistan in the 1980's that led to an all out civil war after the Russians left?
Did the U.S. not support the arming and training of the original Taliban fighters in the 1990's in order „to bring order“ into the country?
As the inteior minister in Afghanistan points out in the article,
“In Kunduz, after they defeated the Taliban in their villages, they became the power and they took money and taxes from the people,” Mr. Atmar, the interior minister, said. “This is not legal, and this is warlordism.”

Volunteer Army: Two Wars and CountingA draft doesn't prevent war, says Murray Polner
Historically addicted to war, the U.S. has a vast "national security" apparatus, more than 1000 bases, and with much money to be made by arms producers and global weapons traders. To service this immense and complex system requires a constant supply of troops. Meanwhile, far from the battlefield, politicians and pundits debate the "proper" use of military intervention, whether for allegedly humanitarian causes or by invading, bombing and occupying to ensure economic and military domination. Now, faced with nonstop wars in the Middle East and possibly elsewhere, and while the drums of war against Iran are heard in Washington and Jerusalem, the question remains, who will be required to serve and fight, and most important, why?Terror Trials Are Our Defining Moment
