Six Afghanistan judges accuse the US of war crimes, but tell US author David Swanson they still worry about stability if the foreign troops leave, and ask him what he would do in Obama's place.

The U.S. Declaration of Independence is an indictment of King George III for various abuses of power which, says David Swanson, look similar to abuses of power U.S. presidents engage in today.

Just as he has obeyed the military on escalations and withdrawals, and obeyed the CIA on refusals to prosecute torture, Obama appears to be doing exactly what he is told once again on his promises for troop withdrawals from Afghanistan.

Over 300 attended the highly successful conference on ten years of the Afghanistan, to hear speakers from abroad, including Arab Spring activists, students, artists, military family members, historians, and members of Parliament.

The UN's "humanitarian intervention" in Libya was immediately used to bomb civilians, introduce arms, employ foreign ground troops, not to mention drone bombings and an assassination attempt.

The paltry troop withdrawal the US will make in July 2011 is an Orwellian attempt to appear to drawdown the war without actually ending it, writes David Swanson.

10 years of shredding the rule of law, hiring mercenary armies, invading helpless unarmed countries, causing the deaths of over a million people, and learning to love torture, all of this warfare did absolutely nothing to locate Osama bin Laden.
