US & Al Qaeda: For the Afghan & Pakistani 2 sides of the same coin
Although many Americans have a great hatred for their government’s lifelong allies, the Al Qaeda and Taliban which are offshoots of the Mujahideen in the 1980's, from the Muslim perspective the policies of both are very similar. The violence and bloodshed both are capable of in order to complete their objectives and strategic interests are starkly similar.
When considering the Taliban was formed by the CIA and trained in causing maximum bloodshed including car bombings and assassinations it isn’t hard to understand why Muslims particularly from the Afghan and Pakistani region see the United States and Al Qaeda as one.
While one side may see itself as highly civilized the barbarism they represent is starkly similar to the Taliban. The terrorists are well known to use immense brutality against innocent civilians and non-combatants without regard for humanity. In fact the brutality of the Taliban and the ideal of massacring all who come in their way are very similar to the intense use of force USA applies against its enemies. US forces have continually been using aerial bombardment on Afghan civilians despite constant requests by the Karzai government to stop them. For the Americans all that has ever mattered is protecting its people and its soldiers. Not for a second did they care when the Taliban were massacring innocent civilians in the country after they left it in their hands after defeating the Soviets. Of course let's not forget to see a Soviet defeat over 4 Million Afghans paid with their lives because USA thought it fit to arm militant Commanders.
Being more technologically advanced the USA has managed to quite further ahead in the field of genocide of civilians and is the only Nation in the World that has used nuclear weapons. The Atom bombs used in Hiroshima and Nagasaki killed over 220,000 people and left thousands of civilians wounded. People still suffer the bombings effects but it is justified by American media as the only solution to the war, another example of how human life has no meaning and how civilians can be killed by the USA to complete its goals and objectives. When Michael Walzer suggested that the attack was War terrorism and genocide a “proud” American, Robert Newman came in to defend the bombings that destroyed thousands of lives. Compare this to the Taliban who claim the 9/11 attacks were a necessity and for the greater good. Similar tactics, similar strategies and same talk about necessity and greater good.
But one has to wonder who in the World made an irresponsible Nation that took part in the murder of over 3.5 Million civilians in Vietnam because it could not accept the will of the Vietnamese people, the country that decided the future of other Nations? Who made the Nation that used nuclear weapons to bring a painful death to 220,000 civilians simply for the survival of 10,000-30,000 of its own soldiers the upholder of World Peace? Should that same Nation have the right to talk about Iran, Pakistan or North Korea’s Nuclear Weapons?
It is hard to understand who is a worse enemy of humanity. A country that bombs innocent's, massacres Millions in their own homeland and then uses its monetary power and influence to bully the rest of the Nations of the World into submission or the terrorist organizations that have no value for human life. For the average Afghan or Pakistani they are both the very same.
The process is never ending and the local population will continue suffering until one side relents. The terrorists will continue using the excuse of foreign occupation and their atrocities to recruit new members to wage their war while the US will continue waging a war that is hurting the Nations they are occupying in the name of a war that has no end, rather than helping them.
To bring World peace, and to bring some of what is left of America's reputation, US interference in the World needs a permanent end. American occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan and unending support for Israel is only alienating Muslims and pushing them in the arms of the Taliban and Al Qaeda. The Taliban are nowhere close to relenting either.
Perhaps the only way to bring back the American name is to adopt an isolationist policy. By ensuring they stop scaring their own people into believing that America is faced with a constant militant threat if they don’t interfere in that part of the World the US will bring back its reputation. The real victims of the 'war on terror' are local people who have taken more losses than America. Afghan, Iraqi and recently even Pakistani causalities have crossed American causalities including those in the 9/11 Attacks. Therefore the United States must stop victimizing itself. Even if it is the victim of the September 11 attacks it has made hundreds of thousands of others a victim of its own policies.
Until the United States understands the World and stops interfering in World Affairs where it has no business it will continue being seen as an evil and ignorant Nation.
That reputation US has built up over the years is where the terrorists draw their support from. And their victims are the Pakistani and Afghan civilians because they are the ones seen as American pawns, who are now in a precarious position entrapped by both the Taliban and the Americans.

So I am not for the occupation of Afghanistan by America either. I just believe this shouldn't mean we support the Taliban 9/10 of whose victims are fellow Afghans and Pakistanis. This is one of my most provocative articles to date about the American's injustice against our people. Both Pakistani and Afghan.

Who Suffers?
In the end who suffers? Not the USA but people within those countries where they interfere. It is painful to see that day after day Afghans and Pakistanis are falling prey to American foreign policy that once created the terrorists, used them for their own gains and abandoned them to be cleared out by the local people at the cost of thousands of lives. The process is never ending and the local population will continue suffering until one side relents. The terrorists will continue using the excuse of foreign occupation and their atrocities to recruit new members to wage their war while the US will continue waging a war that is hurting the Nations they are occupying in the name of a war that has no end, rather than helping them.
