Scott Horton Interviews Kelley B. Vlahos

Scott Horton, July 24, 2009

Kelley B. Vlahos, a Washington, D.C.-based freelance writer, discusses how the CIA successfully undermined Somalia’s Islamic Courts Union and created something much worse, the paltry U.S. troop contingent in Afghanistan compared to the 600,000 troops needed to pacify the country, the generally counterproductive Global War on Terror and how military failures become justifications for expanded and prolonged occupations.

    Holocaust in Vietnam, Cowardice in Rwanda, mass murder in Iraq, torture in Cuba to name a small portion of the last half century’s wonderful achievements by the West. The United States and its allies are Genocides champions. All non-white victims, all forgotten. I am ashamed of my skin.

    Deliberate crisis creation, followed by "needed" crisis management are at the centerpice of Western politics, especially that of British / USA. Terrorists, fundamentalists, leftists, dictators, etc against reformers, free speech, human rights, etc. The West prospers by killing innocent peoples of the world and looting; shameful civilization!
