Thank you and well done, Ms. Greenberg! Americans are far too willing to put past mistakes behind us and thus learn nothing from them, which leads to making the same mistakes over and over again. We must constantly remind ourselves and demand accountability for those who perpetrated these war crimes and crimes against humanity. If prosecution and prison is a bridge too far for our corrupted leaders to embrace, then we must use every means to name and shame these psychotic mass murderers.

“lawless policies of the war on terror has proven not just elusive, but inconceivable.”
Yes Karen, welcome to FASCIST AMERIKA! Because to call it a " war on terror" is a misnomer, it is really a war of US terror by the Amerikan, terrorists.

Sadly, accountability is in short supply unless you are a pot smoker or a J-walker.
The AUMF was horribly bastardized.
Hollow claims of Al Qaeda being a part of the Saddam parade of fools.
The rest is simply crimes, murders, and theft by a bullshit Bush regime.

This article describes an American perversity that has been very pronounced for decades. Americans are despised by the rest of the World for it. They are beneath contempt!

In Afghanistan, Russia failed. And then in planned followup, the US came in with its allies and did the same better and longer.
Now Russia has a second chance. They invited the new Afghan leaders to their second Moscow conference on Afghanistan’s future. I somehow missed hearing that there was one last March as well. I had given Trump all the credit for getting us out of there. Was it Putin? Or Trump and Putin?
“Russia invites Taliban to Afghanistan conference in Moscow”
“No accountability. No apologies. It’s the American way.”
how about, to start with, try telling the truth about what really happened that day.
