Trib on Kunduz massacre: 'Stuff happens'

To: Chicago Tribune Editorial Board

It's understandable the Trib Editorial Board would offer yet another editorial defending; promoting, in fact, our criminal and failed 14 year war in Afghanistan (Tragedy in Kumduz, October 5). But to defend and promote it over the dead bodies of 22 medical professionals and patients at the Doctors Without Borders hospital in Kunduz is truly reprehensible. Incredibly, The Board is still disseminating... the lies and myths used by the Bush Administration to launch a war of conquest against Afghanistan in 2001, instead of taking the sensible, legal and moral course of killing the terrorists and getting out. But, no, the US government and sycophantic media supporters including the Trib, had to conflate the entire Afghan government with the terrorists in order to make a 'trial run' for further criminal regime change in Iraq, Iran, Libya and Syria. And what have you enabled dear Tribune Editorial Board? Failed regime change in Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya; a near war against Iran, and a grisly and failed proxy war against the established Syrian leader Assad. And what have you helped give the world? Hundreds of thousands dead, millions maimed or displaced. and trillions squandered while American infrastructure crumbles. Nice going, guys and girls. Why don't you just stick to local stuff like helping Governor Rauner's agenda of busting unions, withdrawing critical services from the needy, and degrading the purchasing power of working people. Given your track record promoting victorys in unwinnable criminal wars, that effort will surely end in failure as well.
