People are getting killed in Afghanistan because Obama can't admit his worst mistake

No wonder most Americans want out of Afghanistan: since the Obama troop "surge" in Afghanistan three years ago, it's been one fiasco, embarrassment, or atrocity after the other.

The protesters remind us that the US government is not representative of the US people. It's encouraging to see so many willing to stand up against this unjust, disastrous war in Afghanistan.

There's no question of Nato leaders being held to legal account for the Libyan carnage, any more than they have been for far more direct crimes carried out in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Having fought aggressive wars in Yugoslavia, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Libya, NATO remains in Afghanistan, illegally, immorally, and to no coherent purpose.

The Obama administration has a growing armada of remotely piloted planes, aka drones, to fight a nameless, almost planet-wide war (formerly known as the Global War on Terror).

In the 'global war on terror', this would not be the first time that alleged bomb plots and atrocities have turned out to be the work of agent provocateurs and informants.

First the US ambassador to Pakistan resigned over Obama's drone attacks, now ex-CIA counter-terrorism chief says they are forcing Yemenis into violent extremism.

Even the usually silent Tony Blair has intervened for fear of the repercussions if any of the 2,500 Palestinian prisoners on hunger strike for their human rights dies.

The only answer which the US and its allies have to failing wars is to keep pouring money into them and hope for the best, says Stop the War's convenor Lindsey German.

The only solution now is to get out – now, not in 2014. And completely, not with thousands of troops continuing to occupy Afghanistan through 2014 and beyond. Get Out. Now.

It is vital that we reject NATO for what it is, and the NO TO NATO protest at the US Embassy in London on 19 May is the place to do that, says ex-soldier Joe Glenton, jailed for refusing to fight in Afghanistan.

The government has allowed the London Olympics to be hijacked by a monster that is out of control, driven by paranoia, budgetary incontinence and corporate greed.

An end to foreign wars would be a much more effective counter-terror strategy than this hyped, synthetic threat to justify a corporate surveillance-and-security product gold rush.

Speaking on national live TV in 1998, the Beastie Boys Adam Yauch, who has died aged 47, spoke prophetically about the consequences of America's wars on Muslim countries and Islamophobia.
