"We didn't know enough and we still don't know enough. Most of us — me included — had a very superficial understanding of the situation and history, and we had a frighteningly simplistic view of recent history, the last 50 years."The Afghan War isn't about Bin Laden. It isn't about terrorism. It isn't about Al Qaeda. It isn't about the Taliban. It isn't about women's rights. It isn't about human rights. It isn't about "freedom". It isn't about "them" hating "us". It isn't about the "free world". It isn't about democracy.

It is about the MIC making enough profit for the capital. But while the buck keeps rolling, it is all honky dory to let simpletons handle all the Gear&GIs, and bomb the world, I guess.
Boys and girls, remember the next time you hear some people who think they know everything explain why some country supposedly needs a good bombing: It's a "simplistic view" – everything you hear is bullshit.
