This August 22nd is the second anniversary of the Azizabad

massacre, a terrible event in which US-led forces attacked

the village on Aug 22 2008 and caused the deaths of nearly
100 people.
This Azizabad massacre that took place two years ago could
be described as a very uncanny prelude to another massacre
that took place just seven months later at a rural location
called Garanai (otherwise also known as the Farah massacre
of May 4 2009) which witnessed even more civilian deaths.
The events that led to the Azizabad massacre began when US
Special Forces were sent to the area allegedly to hunt down
a Taliban man called Siddiq. Suspecting that this man was
hiding in Azizabad, the soldiers called in a NATO aircraft
to sanitise the village and finish off Siddiq for good.
However, it was discovered later that the man called Siddiq
was never in the village at the time of the attack. The US
Special forces soldiers had been fed erroneous information
by a local Afghan informer named Mohammad Nader.
Nader's words caused the deaths of between seventy to ninety
innocent civilians who were drenched with red-hot metal by
a ground attack aircraft armed with deadly rapid firing multi-
barreled mini-guns and rockets.
After the attack, the US Pentagon described it as a legitimate
strike while furious villagers vented their anger at Afghan
government agents and soldiers sent to investigate the area
in the aftermath of the deadly attack.
President Karzai was fully aware that innocent Afghan blood
had been spilled and he vigorously condemned the killing and
called for an end to attacks on civilian targets, unilateral
killings, illegal swoops and targeting of non-combatants.
The US Pentagon at first denied that any civilians were dead
in Azizabad but later changed its position and announced that
'five civilians' had died in the US attack. Some days later,
it again changed its view and said that seven people had been
killed but alleged that they were associates of the Taliban.
A UN investigation confirmed that ninety people died in the
US attack with sixty of them children. One month later, the
Pentagon gave out a new casualty figure; 33 civilian deaths.
The US then accused the Afghan villagers of spreading Taliban
propaganda despite the undeniable evidence of the dead bodies
of the victims, including those of very young babies.
Villagers said that US soldiers entered their homes after the
attack and summarily shot several men despite the fact they
had nothing to do with the Taliban. In all, 95 people died at
the hands of the occupation forces.
The massacre at Azizabad was very undoubtedly part of a large
pattern of deadly US attacks on Afghan civilians designed to
shatter the rural society of Afghanistan and break the will of
the Afghan people. The killings again proved that the US is a
very callous nation that regards innocent humans in foreign
lands as fully legitimate military targets.
Month after month, year after year, Afghan civilians have been
at the receiving end of the mighty US war machine in their own
land and the US has very clearly enjoyed the spilling of their
blood. Each time civilians are killed, the US points the finger
at them and accuses the victims of being the enemy.
No civilised nation on Earth (except the US) has a record of
killing and massacring innocent people in other countries or
foreign territories and then stating that they were battlefield
combatants and therefore deserved to die.
The US has a very dirty and stinking record of harming, raping,
torturing and annihilating civilians in areas where its military
operated. Afghan civilians have also died from a lack of basic
care and infection by various diseases as a result of the attacks
on Afghan hospitals, utilities and related infrastructure by the
US during the initial invasion period. Very certainly the US is
a most murderous and callous nation.
Not only most murderous and callous, the US is also very much a
great and dastardly criminal nation. Using violence and force to
remove a foreign government is very illegal and wrong, but using
its people as combat fodder is totally unacceptable but the US
has been doing exactly this for a very, very long time.
Long before WW2, the US military killed and wiped out scores of
innocent people in various parts of the globe from the Caribbean
to the Philippines and right up to china.
A noted Filipino historian once had this to say about the US:
"They came not as friends but as an enemy disguised as friends'.
Events like shooting people and burning their homes and forcing
them into staying inside unsanitary camps were carried out by
US forces in his country. Very questionable executions were also
quite common occurrences during the occupation period by the US
military.
In China, the US went in as part of the foreign contingent in
the ravaged land. After the failed uprising against the foreign
concessions in China, the chinese civilians were fully at the
mercy of the evil foreigners. One writer wrote that US (and
those belonging to other nations) soldiers went around with
'unzipped trousers' and forced themselves on helpless people.
Afterwards their victims were killed and their killers had the
audacity to make jokes about it and boasting that they had 'sent
them to heaven'. Those who survived the horrors are long gone now
and there are no existing photographs documenting the horrors.
But many believed these terrible events took place in or around
September 1903.
After WW2, the US military did virtually the same thing in other
places. In vietnam, it was common for US forces to commit all
sorts of criminal acts against the local civilians, especially
in the rural areas. In Korea, the US military used Korean men,
women and children as shooting objects. In Iraq and somalia,
spraying passers-by with bullets was a common or even everyday
event for the US military.
At present, there is a mini-azizabad happening every month or
even every week in Afghanistan and who is truly responsible ?
The person or persons responsible are people like Obama, Gates,
Sarkozy or even others like Cameron and Merkel. Yet the rest
of the world still holds these people in high regard. They're
actually nothing but mindless murderers and killers.
Washington has clearly led the others up the garden path and
tricked many countries into pouring rivers of money into the
US capital for use by the US military to wage evil war against
innocent civilians. As a result, many countries are now facing
tremendously painful environmental and weather issues due to
urgently needed cash flowing away from home and into the US.
Clearly, the desperate US is a very most criminal nation and even
today, now, it is still mindlessly banging away and totalling up
more and more casualties and deaths among foreign civilians. Who
gave the US the right to do such things ?
Today, they have become even much worse. The US CIA is employing
aerial drones to launch missiles against civilians in Pakistan.
These missiles have killed lots of women and children. Those who
were involved in insurgent activities normally obtained prior
warnings before each CIA attack and therefore were not hit. The
defenceless innocents were the ones who got destroyed.
Despite being very guilty of killing and massacring so many of
innocent people the US is still longing for more killings. The
wanton nature of the US is clearly unrestrainedly wild and it is
forcing US leaders to be always looking and searching for new
places for more or further wild acts of killing.
The US is truly a grave danger to our world and is a most evil
presence. It is the greatest threat to peace and security for
the planet today. The whole world must never forget the wild
acts of killings and massacrings carried out by the US.
Always remember the Azizabad massacre !

The next victim could be YOU.
