I know that...Here's why I don't buy a newspaper...<br /><br />I know that my country was responsible for the war in Afghanistan in the 80s which resulted in the death of millions...i know they supported the Iraqi invasion of Iran which resulted in the death of millions...I know that it has manipulated entire nations for war...etc.<br /><br />But I don't know why! I don't know what its all really about...<br /><br />I have suspicions and evidence which points to me making an assertion...<br /><br />But you see...I am a 24 year old citizen with nothing close at my disposal in the way of a News Organization's resources...<br /><br />And yet (NOT THAT I HAVE)...I think that I could piece together a better and more accurate assessment of what is actually happening..because There is nothing prohibiting my actual seeking of truth here...<br /><br />If the Newspaper seeked truth without hiding behind nationalism, modernity, capitalism,...among other hindurences to the truth...<br /><br />THey would be writing and producing pieces so worth reading that one would not be running to the internet and trying to link things together...they'd understand that the paper on their doorstep...provided a true and best narrative...<br /><br />It doesn't...this will be the downfall of journalism...<br /><br />How many journalistic enterprises would dare examine wars over the past decade in terms of Article 33 of The Geneva Conventions... <br /><br />How many would ask whether the aims of NATO Bombing Tribal Villages and then repenting for forgiveness and then bombing again are not to undermine an entitity which applies the idea of forgiveness...<br /><br />If the project at hand is long war for an American Century... war...violent extremists being followed rather than tribal councils is desired...if restructuring of the region was the original aim...<br /><br />DO innocent lives not deserve accountability?<br /><br />There is no examination of this war. There is no earnest examination of the truth.<br /><br />Saying that the Taliban is a "Cancer" is a form of dehumanization...Dominichttp://thinktankevolution.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
