NATO, the United States and its vassal-states in Afghanistan Håkan Wiberg 4 July 2010 |

| "The prospects for a clear-cut U.S. victory in Afghanistan are increasingly slender, as the administration of President Obama has more or less openly conceded. This raises the question of why the war was started in the first place, and why it has been pursued at such great cost for so long. "Several explanations have been suggested, including the motive of revenge, the geopolitical significance and natural resources of Afghanistan, issues of development and human rights, etc. The most plausible explanation may be that war, in itself, has become essential to preservation of the United States' status as superpower.… "The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) has come to play an increasingly important role in the development and maintenance of U.S. military dominance." These are among the conclusions of an analysis by Håkan Wiberg which begins with a review of Afghanistan's long history of invasion by, among others, the Median, Persian, Mongol, British and U.S. empires. |
