When the Taliban recently took control of Afghanistan, American media began lamenting this fact saying that American troops were sent to Afghanistan to free the people from oppression and in getting revenge  for the damage done to the Trade Center and the people who died as a result.  What the news people fail to mention is that the real reason for our invasion of Afghanistan was not our desire to stop the oppression and to help the Afghans regain their human rights.  The real reason was our desire to force the people to allow us to build an oil pipe line through the country and to get to other valuable resources in the country.

If, dear readers, you’re wondering what people from Afghanistan are doing in Wisconsin then you haven’t heard about the horrific scenes of violence playing themselves out in the Middle East. The withdrawal of American forces from Afghanistan and subsequent bloody takeover by the Taliban has created yet another mass humanitarian crisis.  Opinion piece from the WSJ  - Esther Cepeda.
