1/ People are starving in Afghanistan because of American sanctions. Women activists there are been kidnapped by the Taliban when we did not even try to help them escape.

2/ If the American people allowed ourselves to truly take in the horror of what people from Vietnam to Iraq to Afghanistan have suffered because of our own craven, misdirected foreign policies, no amount of sleeping pills could give any of us a good night’s sleep.

3/ On the other hand, taking in that horror is perhaps what’s needed in order to motivate us to rise up against the insanity of the military industrial complex. As it is, we’re just waiting for the next mad adventure. The madness needs to stop.

Those three wars are extremely different in their aims and in the motivations of those who implemented them. Afghanis are not primarily suffering due to sanctions. There are a host of systemic socioeconomic and security problems. It's right and proper to understand the suffering

The wars you reference were political and greedy driven. It was a Defense contractors dream come true. If Politicians and self proclaimed religious prophets cared about human life or democracy (as they proclaim) there would never be a war EVER !!!!
