Trojan Liberty
My Commentary: Imperialism is imperialism… whether through hubris or through conquest. Really… can even a single innocent human being be “legitimately” murdered simply because the killer uses self-righteous “savior” rhetoric while doing so?

The American military claimed responsibility and expressed regret for an airstrike that mistakenly killed six members of a family in southwestern Afghanistan, Afghan and American military officials confirmed Monday.
The attack, which took place Friday night, was first revealed by the governor of Helmand Province, Muhammad Gulab Mangal, on Monday. His spokesman, Dawoud Ahmadi, said that after an investigation they had determined that a family home in the Sangin district had been attacked by mistake in the American airstrike, which was called in to respond to a Taliban attack.
Mr. Mangal summoned the American regional commander, Maj. Gen. Charles M. Gurganus of the Marines, to complain, and General Gurganus apologized, Mr. Ahmadi said.

Former President, Jimmy Carter
[Former President] Jimmy Carter Warns Against War With Iran:
http://www.rawstory.com/2012/04/jimmy-carter-warns-against-war-with-iran/
(Agence France-Presse) Former US President Jimmy Carter warned against a possible war with Iran Monday as he decried his nation’s involvement in unjust conflicts at a summit of Nobel Peace Prize laureates in Chicago.
Carter, a naval veteran who served as Democratic president from 1977 to 1981, said that while he is “not against conflict when necessary,” the criteria for a just war are often not met.
My Commentary: Do not believe in the false religion of violence, murder and war as “necessary.”
“War is a way of shattering to pieces, or pouring into the stratosphere, or sinking in the depths of the sea, materials which might otherwise be used to make the masses too comfortable, and hence, in the long run, too intelligent.” 1984 – George Orwell

“Question 1: What was first – the egg or the hen?
Question 2: What was first – Al Qaeda or US foreign policy?”

Let’s start with the facts about the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG):

According to the article,
The LIFG was founded in Afghanistan during the early 1990s by a group of mujahideen who had fought against the Soviet occupation. Once they returned to Libya, their main goal became overthrowing the Qadhafi regime in order to establish an Islamic state.
With this information in mind, read my other article, entitled “Questioning the Motives Behind America’s Invasion of Afghanistan,” and take note of the following facts:
