Media Distorts our Perception of Afghanistan

The war on terror has been an utter fiasco: before the US troops arrived in 2001 Afghanistan was much more peaceful and stable, now the insurgency has spread all over the country, become multi-ethnic and more robust. ++ American claims of spreading democracy lie buried beneath the hineous crimes perpetrated by its soldiers – this might “culminate in a violent insurgency.“ ++ People outside of Afghanistan don’t realize it because the media carry out a well orchestrated campaign to camouflage the failure and vilify the enemy.
