US invasion of Afghanistan extremely brutal: Analyst
Afghans are angry about the latest US airstrike which has killed more than 30 civilians in the northern province of Kunduz. Dozens of the relatives of those killed in the deadly US-led raid staged protests outside the governor's office in Kunduz to condemn the attack as they were carrying the bodies of the victims.
The military invasion of Afghanistan by the United States and NATO was “extremely brutal” and “grotesque” from the very beginning, says a philosopher, journalist and filmmaker.
“The war as we all remember began right after the 9/11 when the United States was claiming that they are actually chasing al-Qaeda, chasing Osama bin laden who was hiding in Afghanistan. There was actually not much link between Afghanistan and 9/11,” Andre Vltchek told Press TV.
He also noted the United States attacked and destabilized Afghanistan for its own “geopolitical interests”.
The analyst further argued the Afghan people have always been the victims of US interventions since the Soviet war in Afghanistan.
He also said there is a “huge anger” and “disgust” with regard to the entire invasion of Afghanistan by the United States, adding that Washington is not going to gain any popularity on the ground.
The analyst further criticized the Western mainstream media for not mentioning anything about the US drone strikes in different countries across Northern Africa and the Middle East which kill a lot of people.
The United States -- under Republican George W. Bush’s presidency -- and its allies invaded Afghanistan on October 7, 2001 as part of Washington’s so-called war on terror.
