But you should try to understand the Plutocrat owned government and it's mercenaries in the US military don't care about the innocents; they kill for profit. Always remember the liberal Madeline Albright's response to the slaughtering half a million Iraqi children using US sanctions, "It was worth it". Remember, the government used these sanctions in Iraq to kill innocents hoping it would make the Iraqi people rebel; it didn't work. US sanctions are now killing millions around the planet (e.g. 100,000 in Venezuela alone) and not a word in the mainstream media. The CIA's Operation "Timber Sycamore" is responsible for the deaths of over half a million innocents in Syria alone. And how many deaths are the US and Britain responsible for in Yemen? Understand, the US is (and has always been) an Empire own by plutocrats that uses its Military and Reserve currency status to threaten those who try to escape its imperial clutches. If you wish to learn more, read "A People's History of the United States" by Howard Zinn, and "War is a Racket" by Smedley Butler. So the big question you should be asking is - Why is the mainstream media (& Hartmann) now publicizing these starvation deaths in Afghanistan? What's the Scam?

@ArmenianBishop : The US didn't try to "Salvage Afghanistan"; Afghanistan was just another opportunity to fulfill Brzezinski's Middle East strategy. Read "The Grand Chessboard" and you will see what I mean. Remember, the Saudi government funded the 911 attacks and 15 of the 19 hijackers were Saudi nationals. The only thing you need to understand is the US government works for Wall Street and during the Afghanistan war, many in the US made their fortunes from 20 years of ripping off the US taxpayer; the same happened in Iraq in addition to "Taking the Oil". Don't be that naive that you believe the US "Makes the World Safe for Democracy"; it steals resources, threatens and oppresses countries trying to escape Washington's influence.

@ArmenianBishop : If you want to understand the intent of the Anglo-American Empire (to force the World to accept US Imperialism); and the lie that the US "Makes the World Safe for Democracy", may I suggest you read "War is a Racket" by Major General Smedley Butler (USMC). Here is just a small excerpt: "I spent thirty-three years and four months in active military service as a member of this country's most agile military force, the Marine Corps. I served in all commissioned ranks from Second Lieutenant to Major-General. And during that period, I spent most of my time being a high class muscle-man for Big Business, for Wall Street and for the Bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism. I suspected I was just part of a racket at the time. Now I am sure of it. Like all the members of the military profession, I never had a thought of my own until I left the service. My mental faculties remained in suspended animation while I obeyed the orders of higher-ups. This is typical with everyone in the military service. I helped make Mexico, especially Tampico, safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefits of Wall Street. The record of racketeering is long. I helped purify Nicaragua for the international banking house of Brown Brothers in 1909-1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for American sugar interests in 1916. In China I helped to see to it that Standard Oil went its way unmolested. During those years, I had, as the boys in the back room would say, a swell racket. Looking back on it, I feel that I could have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents." Pay special attention to, " Like all the members of the military profession, I never had a thought of my own until I left the service. My mental faculties remained in suspended animation while I obeyed the orders of higher-ups. This is typical with everyone in the military service." And even then many remained willingly brainwashed their whole lives and never question US Imperialism.

@ArmenianBishop : You could say the same thing for the Third Reich. At least it increased people's employment prospects and it did depopulate the world some? If you wish to be intellectually dishonest and annihilate what ever morals you had, one could justify almost anything. The only difference between the Third Reich and the Fourth Reich (US), is that Hitler never tries to sell you on the idea the Third Reich was anything other than an aggressive and butcherous nation (Lebensraum); whereas the US hides behind a cloak of propaganda and soft power hoping the world accepts the "Making the World Safe for Democracy" BS that it has pushed ever since WW2. Unlike Hitler who openly assaulted nations attempting to steal resources and land, the US approaches its butchering and thieving empire as like a deceptive sleaze pretending to be beneficial to humanity while slaughtering for profit. So if someone came into your house and slaughtered your wife and half your children; maybe you should look at the event and "Just decide if the the glass is half empty, or half full."

@ArmenianBishop : But I will say you are more honest than most. Many liberals appear to be so ashamed of the atrocities of the Empire, they willingly lie and hide behind the delusions of "Shining City on the Hill". The standard Clinton-Liberal refuses to openly acknowledge Empire, even when they hear the war criminal Clinton openly say, "We Came, We Saw, He died". Even when the war criminal Albright, after slaughtering half a million Iraqi children, then promotes Clinton in her run for president. So by just acknowledging Empire, you still deserve more respect than that sleazy liberal scum that hides behind the propaganda, lies, and deception from the mainstream media and Hollywood. It's just sad that you now attempted to justify Empire.

@ArmenianBishop : After watching the BS that comes out of Hartmann, I understand it's difficult for a libtard to stop sipping the liberal Kool-Aid in the cult-envelope of the Clinton-Liberal imperial bubble. One can only hope that one day you may value honesty and integrity more than some sleazy, corrupt, and confused liberal ideology. If you look to Hartmann as an orator of the truth, integrity, intellectual honesty or as a role model, you will be sadly disillusioned when reality sees the light of day.

@ArmenianBishop : I've just been criticized by someone looking over my shoulder that using the word "libtard" is ambiguous. I was reminded that "libtard" is usually used by those on the right-wing to describe the antics of an ethically-compromised, incoherent, and corrupt reprobate-liberal (maybe the word reprobate is redundant when linked to liberal). I argued that those on the real-left should also be able to used the word "libtard" to describe those dysfunctional Clinton-liberals as well. When I say real-left, I don't mean fake-leftists like Hartmann or Pocan; I mean real anti-Imperial, anti-War, anti-Fascist leftists that detest any form of corruption. I believe when using words like "Libtard", there should be equal opportunity between those on the real-left and those on the right; what do you think?
