Another contested spot for US imperialism is Afghanistan. While there has been some commentary at Maoist Revolution and at
http://www.groups.yahoo.com/group/MAOIST_REVOLUTION,
That posting is analysis by an American blogger. I decided to focus on The Communist Party (Maoist) of Afghanistan, which is also looking at this major hot spot that will plague the Barack Obama Regime. So here is:
Afghanistan and the occupiers' dilemma: more troops or a different approach?
19 January 2009. A World to Win News Service. The debate over the need for a new strategy in Afghanistan has reached a fever pitch among imperialist circles. There is rarely a news item about that country that does not at least state the need for a new approach. The occupiers' think tanks and Afghanistan experts are busy discussing and debating the necessary elements. Barack Obama’s inauguration as U.S. president may provide the occasion for the rollout of a new plan, or at least steps touted as such.
It is now very widely recognized that the approach the U.S. has been using so far has failed. While the U.S., which is leading the imperialists occupying Afghanistan, finds it difficult to openly admit this failure, that judgement is implicit in American officials' demands that other Nato countries match the U.S. in greatly increasing the number of foreign troops. (See AWTWNS, 2 November 2008).
The U.S., Canada, the British and other imperialists fighting in the war zones tried hard for a long time to pressure other Nato countries to fight alongside them. There has been an alarmist tone to reports from imperialist circles, including military and parliamentary spokespeople and certain humanitarian agencies, highlighting the deteriorating situation, the resurgence of the Taleban and the real possibility that, as they like to put it, "Afghanistan could become a failed state." Most of their reports recommend that other Nato countries take part in the fighting and that they all send more troops, warning that otherwise the result could be complete failure.
