Time to End the Liberal Lie that Afghanistan is a Just War

Today the Christian Science Monitor ran a post on why the Taliban benefits from Pastor Jones Quran Burning...

They included this image:

And this caption: An Afghan protestor (r.) hits the burning effigy of the American pastor, Terry Jones during a demonstration in Shinwar, Nangarhar province, east of Kabul, Afghanistan, on Monday, April. 4. Protests erupted in Afghanistan again Monday against a Florida pastor's burning of the Quran, making four straight days of demonstrations some deadly against the destruction of Islam's holy book in a country struggling to beat back an insurgency led by Taliban religious extremists.


However, in reality they were not burning an effigy of Pastor Jones at all but rather US President Barack Obama:

American Liberals continue to tell themselves false lies that they are in Afghanistan to create a more liberal or democratic society. It is the last lie that holds the occupation firm with American people... However, even Afghan liberals denounce Obama and call him a war criminal... see this recent speech from Malalai Joya in Minneapolis... it is time to stop the nonsense and admit that Obama is a war criminal complicit in crimes against humanity.

We authored a piece a while back that called on "true" progressives to recognize that the Taliban are the only just and effective solution to Afghanistan's future. Here is our article that outlines a plan we still see unfolding for a withdrawal that will create neoliberal machinations that will decimate Afghanistan and contribute further to civil war and ethnic strife. Please forward this entire post over facebook, social networking sites, email mailing lists and etcetera. The Afghan people want Obama out, and Americans supporting him and his wars will only to further animosity and violence. Please demand the immediate withdrawal of foreign forces from Afghanistan and join slowly increasing number of liberals that can see through the deception of the liberal lie.
