Defence Minister Carme Chacon has made the visitilla of rigor to the English soldiers who are in Afghanistan and told them what she believes which is the key question: "what makes Spain Afghanistan, and in response (yes, she answered herself) noted the work of the troops. Also noted: "A hospital, six clinics, six schools, three institutes, 160 kilometers of roads, drinking water, an Afghan Army and police ...".
However, I think the question is this, the question is: what are all those military, requested by the Barack Obama , and continuing the policy (yeah) George Bush in Afghanistan?. Come on, what happens in Afghanistan milk? in principle is clear: there is a war. I would love (or not) to say that this war has to really democratize this country where half the population lives without having a minimal recognition of their rights. That the military around the world have gone there to end an unjust situation in which the radical fundamentalists have destroyed the rights of Afghan women. The international community has decided it will not allow this situation produced by the Taliban insurgency, in which 87.2% of Afghan women have experienced at least sometimes violence, and in which under 16 are forced into marriage, continue.
But no. This is not atrocious system imposed by the fundamentalist Taliban guerrillas in the mid-nineties to all Afghan women, who else who least know, that has caused this war to end it, no. Were the 11-S that caused the new war on Afghan soil. As rightly said Gabriela Cañas in El Pais, this "just war" is not for women.
Thus, the October 7, 2001 began the war in Afghanistan with Operation Enduring Freedom. With a name so beautiful and that leads us to believe in hope, began invasion to locate Osama bin Laden and other Al Qaeda leaders, and so overthrow the Taliban regime that supported Al Qaeda.
Thus we see that the Taliban (and, in general, which cool more) if they were not bothered by treating women worse than dogs, but because they were suspected of hiding and supported the terrorists of Al Qaeda .
Although eight years have passed, and Bin Laden allegedly has already disappeared from the map, the war continues. Now the objective seems to be that it is maintaining (or achieving first) peace, holding off the Taliban (again, generally) and encouraging the Government of Hamid Karzai, president, of course, named in an election promoted by the U.S..
Is this government of Hamid Karzai as democratic as to continue an armed struggle as intended? Precisely this man on the campaign trail, funded and supported by the international community, adopted a more than questionable Personal Status Law Shiite, according Cañas, allows Hazara men left without food for the wife who refuses to meet their needs sex, which imposes on women the obligation to seek permission from the husband to leave home and also granted sole custody to the parents or grandparents, mothers not or grandmothers.
Now the U.S. has asked NATO to send a larger number of soldiers, and of course Spain has failed time and has pledged to send 500 more. But why?
The hospitals and schools sounds nice but do we know who we are defending and why? Why fight if something like the brutal sex discrimination in Afghanistan is forgotten in this war and even keep? Is supposed to be fighting to avoid the radicalism, but how can you bring order to a country so divided with military overseas? And why was a guerrilla armed for years by the United States is now fighting against the U.S. itself? Is not it a bit weird?
biased information reaches us, tell us if they have killed one, two or three soldiers in one or another nationality, especially information becomes available if something happens to some English, but what actually happens, why and how long , that nobody knows.
So what is really happening in Afghanistan?
Maybe we should wait to come a veteran who has lived as Mike Prysner , but rather than from Iraq, Afsganistan, with the same courage to tell the truth (although to me there is not much difference between one and another war and what this man says is worth for both). This man had the courage to sit in front of every camera and tell their experience and what he considered the reality of what happened and is happening :
