Margie’s Son’s Take on Afghanistan

I was proud of our President using the word’s of Truman—the buck stops here.  We don’t seem to know many people don’t want to have a government like ours.  I have a blog friend who posted what her son, Scott said about what happened.  She said I could share it.

 Margie’s youngest son, who spent several tours in Afghanistan, had this to say about the current situation: 

"No one needs to blame the current president nor the one prior for this mess! This was a Bush/Chaney disaster! you cannot make little Americans out of those people and their country.. they are tribes and families, nepotism is their creed which is rooted in their religious myths. 

 

These people, like their Iraq cousins, had 20 years to prepare for the inevitable ( Afghanistan Taliban), but they loved the American dollar and pay checks and did not take American military training serious! 

 

Like all countries (we’ve tried to convince our way is the best) just rode the American gravy train and lived in the present instead of preparing for their future challenges!

 

America needs to stay the hell out of the nation building business! to quote another mythical book.."get the beam out of our eye, before getting the mote out of others" Keep our troops and money in our own yard! quit force feeding other countries our democracy philosophy! “one size doesn’t fit all!"

 

I have to agree. In fact our democracy (actually Republic) is failing us and has been for some time. White supremacists are taking it over. I so admire the mayor of Tulsa for finally exposing the terrible massacre that Tulsa's black community went through in 1918 when the white people there massacred almost 300 black people and burned their businesses and churches just because they had built a thriving community of their own.
