FN har ikkje blitt piska fullstendig inn på geledd endå. Fornuftig protest
frå FNs "special envoy" i Afghanistan:
"Mr Brahimi acknowledged that the UN had been pressured into
peacekeeping roles against its will in the past,
including in the
Balkans. However, he said the overriding lesson from those
experiences was that such missions should not be repeated."
******
However, the UN's special envoy to Afghanistan, Lakhdar Brahimi,
immediately ruled out such a role. "I very firmly say
that the United
Nations ... is definitely not seeking anything of that
sort. Again, I
repeat, the UN is not seeking a transitional
administration or
peacekeeping, or anything like that."
Det er meir ryddig hvis USA/NATO sjølv tek hand om okkupasjonen av sine
erobra territorium, det er uansett dei som regjerer i Bosnia, i Kosovo og
sannsynligvis snart i Makedonia, Afghanistan og sentral-Asia fram til
russlands grense.
Such missions should not be repeated, og når dei likevel blir det, burde
ikkje FN dilte etter som legitimeringsorgan.
USA har frigjort Afghanistan i over 20 år, dei starta på 70-talet med å
prakke på landet en haug med arabiske fascistar, som USA har vore alliert
med på dei fleste av slagmarkene deira gjennom heile 80-talet, 90-talet og
endå litt lenger.
Bin laden & Co kom heller ikkje på kollisjonskurs med sine amerikanske
jordmødre då Pakistan, med sterk støtte (øk og pol) frå USA fann det
nødvendig å gjere et nytt framstøt for å vinne kontrollen over A, med
Taliban-bevegelsen som instrument.
No skal dei gamle allierte i nord-alliansen vere instrument i innsettinga
av et regime med "moderate talibanerar" som grunnstamme. Moderat er som
alltid i USAnsk nytale, kodeord for LYDIG.
Den pågåande frigjeringsaksjonen heiter som kjent "Enduring Freedom", etter
at "Infinite Justice" vart i overkant allmektig sjøl for Bush-dynastiet.
Norske media har oversatt dette til "varig frihet", dette blir heilt
misvisande. den natulige oversettelsen er "tåle frihet", i tydinga "halde
ut", men den afghanske tålegrensa for amerikansk frihet må for lengst vere
nådd.

We won't clean up the mess, says UN
http://www.smh.com.au/news/0110/19/world/world2.html
By Mark Riley, Herald Correspondent in New York
The problem of who should lead a nation-building effort in
Afghanistan if the Taliban regime falls has deepened,
with the
United Nations and the United States at odds over what
role the
UN should play.
The US Secretary of State, Colin Powell, said after
arriving in
Shanghai for the Asia-Pacific Economic Co-operation
forum that
the UN could establish an interim administration, as it
had in East
Timor, to help usher Afghanistan to political stability.
However, the UN's special envoy to Afghanistan, Lakhdar
Brahimi,
immediately ruled out such a role. "I very firmly say
that the United
Nations ... is definitely not seeking anything of that
sort. Again, I
repeat, the UN is not seeking a transitional
administration or
peacekeeping, or anything like that."
President George Bush first suggested the UN take on the
central
role in building a broad-based government in
Afghanistan. The
central focus of his foreign policy platform on taking
office was that
the US should not take responsibility for
nation-building efforts
around the world.
The most likely option now is that an alliance of
countries would
work with the UN to advise Afghanistan's tribal and
ethnic leaders,
including moderate forces within the Taliban, to build a
broad-based
government in Kabul.
Mr Brahimi, a former Algerian foreign minister and
author of a
landmark report on UN peacekeeping reform last year, on
Tuesday
cautioned the Security Council against rushing into
Afghanistan
with peacekeepers.
Afghans were "very proud people, and they don't like to
be ordered
around by foreigners", he said.
"They don't like to see foreigners there, especially in
military
uniforms."
Turkey has offered through its UN representatives to lead an
Islamic-dominated peacekeeping mission that might be more
acceptable to the Afghan people. However, UN officials
say there
is very little support in the organisation for such a
mission.
Mr Brahimi has suggested the UN concentrate on supplying
humanitarian aid to the millions of refugees and
internally displaced
Afghans as winter approaches.
He said his comments did not mean the UN was not prepared to
help rebuild Afghanistan and its political system. "We
will definitely
be doing as much as we can, but that is different from
actually
providing a direct administration for the country."
Mr Powell said much the same thing when asked what role
Washington might play.
"This isn't the United States going in and
nation-building with troops.
This is helping the international community, helping the
people of
Afghanistan to create hopeful conditions within the
country so that
they are not vulnerable to his kind of threat again in
the future."
Mr Brahimi acknowledged that the UN had been pressured into
peacekeeping roles against its will in the past,
including in the
Balkans. However, he said the overriding lesson from those
experiences was that such missions should not be repeated.
