The reason that many world countries lack peace and stability is because of the state terrorism of the US, which fuels tensions, crises, economic ruin, narcotics proliferation, wars, bloodshed, destruction, and displacement of millions of people.
If in Latin America, the prime victim of Washington’s terroristic polices is Venezuela, in Africa it is Libya.
Vietnam in Southeast Asia was terrorized by the US for over a decade and today some 45 years after the end of the war it still bears scars of American brutalities.
Nearer at home in our own West Asian region, US state terrorism is fully evident in Iraq, Syria, Palestine, Lebanon, Bahrain, and Yemen, while to our east is one of the most prominent victims of Washington’s devilish terror policies.
The recently ended 20-year American occupation has left Afghanistan in ruin, yet the Yankees are not willing to shoulder responsibilities for the destruction on a gigantic scale they have wrought in Afghanistan.
In the words of Iran’s Chief of the Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) a great portion of the damage by the Americans in Afghanistan, even if they are forced to pay war indemnity is “irreparable.”
Ali Shamkhani in his address yesterday in New Delhi, the Indian capital, to the third edition of the Regional Security Dialogue on Afghanistan – a meeting of national security advisers from regional countries – posed the question:
“Is it possible to compensate for the lost lives or the damage inflicted to the human body and soul, or to restore the lost time to build a nation and a country?”
These words indicate only a fraction of the state terrorism of the US which still continues to terrorize Afghanistan after withdrawal through its proxies, the Daesh takfiri terrorists, who in addition to triggering bomb blasts at schools, hospitals, mosques, and marketplaces to macabrely murder the unsuspecting Afghan, men, women, and children, are posing a threat to the security of neighbouring countries.
As pointed by the Iranian official: “Terrorism, poverty and misery, as well as drug cultivation and trafficking and migration, increased while a large number of innocent people in Afghanistan were massacred by American fighter jets at weddings and mourning ceremonies for vague reasons.”
He said the Americans “acted deceitfully” even in the issue of peace in Afghanistan and had no plans to promote stability in the country contrary to their claims.
As a matter of fact, he added, the US turned out to be a failure even in its “most basic role, i.e. the establishment of the army and security system,” which quickly collapsed after Washington and its accomplices left Afghanistan and the Taliban group took over.
In view of the devastating legacy of US state terrorism, the onus is now on the neighbours of Afghanistan to help that country find peace, stability, and progress, which are not possible until the establishment of a broad-based national government in Kabul representing the various political, ethnic, and religious groups of Afghan people.
The UN should take action against the US to make it pay for the vast damage it has done in order to avert an economic crisis, along with rampant terrorism, that are driving millions of Afghan people to seek refuge in neighbouring countries, thereby creating problems, especially for the Islamic Republic of Iran, which already hosts over three million Afghan refugees and bears the brunt of the cost in the absence of aid from international agencies.
