“Culturally sensitive” imperialism

In Britain, they’re getting antsy about Obama’s war — the ‘Af-Pak war, that is. Without the poodle Tony Blair to cover for us, Britain’s ruling Labor Party — decisively smacked down in the recent elections to the European parliament — is grumbling about being stampeded by the United States into fighting another unpopular war. The House of Commons Foreign Affairs committee is complaining that the joint U.S.-NATO mission in Afghanistan is degenerating into a strategic disaster — or, as they put it, has become ‘considerably more difficult than might otherwise have been the case’ — and it’s all our fault. That may very well be true, but one has to ask: faced with an essentially impossible task like subduing the Afghans, under what circumstances would the effort have been any less difficult? Well, the Brits have a few suggestions to make...

US to Seek More British Troops for Afghanistan

Patrick Wintour and Richard Norton Taylor, The Guardian UK: "Britain will come under fresh pressure to send more troops to Afghanistan this month when General Stanley McChrystal, the Nato commander in the country, tells President Barack Obama that a further troop surge by the military alliance is necessary."

Verteidigungsminister folgt Logik des Krieges

27. Juli 2009

Meldungen zu Folge soll die Bundeswehr in Afghanistan jetzt auch dann mit Waffengewalt gegen Personen vorgehen dürfen, wenn diese sich zurückziehen. Bislang durften deutsche Soldaten nicht auf Flüchtlinge schießen. Dazu erklärt der Bundesgeschäftsführer Dietmar Bartsch:

Zu so einer Entscheidung kann nur kommen, wer sich in die Logik des Krieges begibt. Die deutschen Soldaten werden immer tiefer in den Sumpf des Krieges gezogen. Dieser Weg ist falsch. Für DIE LINKE ist der Abzug der Bundeswehr aus Afghanistan das einzig mögliche Zeichen für ein wahres Interesse am Frieden. DIE LINKE bleibt bei ihrer Forderung nach einem sofortigen Abzug der Bundeswehr aus Afghanistan und setzt sich für den zivilen Wiederaufbau ein. Das sture Festhalten an der Logik des Krieges verhindert, dass sich zivilgesellschaftliche Kräfte als Alternative durchsetzen können.
