The latest disaster involving the US war
machine in a foreign country is one more of a string of examples of why
becoming involved in a countries internal conflicts; be they political
or religious, is foolhardy and doomed to fail. The previous generation
learned that lesson in Vietnam but unfortunately t didn't carry over to
this generation.
Blowing up hospitals with Afghans in them doesn't win heart and minds regardless of what side the Afghans are on.Doctors Without Borders says U.S. airstrike hit hospital in Afghanistan; at least 19 dead
For
the last 16 years the US has been bogged down in nothing more than
"civil wars" both in Iraq and Afghanistan. These internal conflicts
between opposing factions of the countries population have been going
on for centuries and for reasons not much different than the Civil War
between the North and South in the US.
Outside
intervention is hopeless and futile unless these countries are occupied
or colonized; and then the future is still bleak given the history.
Plain and simple, these are "win-less" wars.
