Maailmansodan jälkeen Afganistan oli tarkoitus muuttaa ’Pikku Amerikaksi’ (”Little America”) erilaisten kehitysprojektien avulla. Kaikki ei kuitenkaan mennyt suunnitelmien mukaan.

More than 10,000 anti-war protesters marched in London (…) [in October, 2009] calling for a withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan. – (…) Organisers Stop the War Coalition claim the war in Afghanistan is now unwinnable and are calling for the government to pull the 9,000 strong UK troops from the country.

”America’s longest armed conflict since that in Indochina and NATO’s first ground war threatens to not only remain the world’s most dangerous conflagration but also one that plunges the 21st Century into a war without end.” (Rick Rozoff)
Ari Rusila, kiitos vaivannäöstä ja koosteesta, johon EU-Afganistan suhteiden osalta voisi olla joku reunamerkintäkin, mutta kun kokonaisuus on laadukas, on sitä turha isosti ”raaputtaa” epäolennaisuuksilla.
”My conclusion is that the core question is not in or out. I would see the word with as best practice for future relations between U.S./EU and Afghanistan. The local stakeholder may or may not accept cooperation with foreigners but it is their choice as it is choice for U.S./EU to participate and invest to Afghanistan’s development plans or not.”
Johtopäätös (Rasilan) on sitaateissa yllä ja siihen nähden ei ole huomauttamista.
Haluttiin tai ei, islamin köyhyys ja karkea epätasa-arvo (sukupuolten ja sosiaalisten/etnisten ryhmien välillä) eivät ole ratkaistavissa, mutta ehkä vanha viisaus on kuitenkin tarpeen:
”Lohi on kala, jota on pyydettävä, saipa sen tai ei”.
Europe has the US president it wished for, but Barack Obama lacks the strong transatlantic partner he wants. With EU leaders heading to Washington for their transatlantic summit on 3 November, ECFR cautions EU member states: an unsentimental President Obama has already lost patience with a Europe lacking coherence and purpose. In a post-American world, the United States knows it needs effective partnerships to ensure that it remains the ”indispensable nation”.
If Europe cannot step up and adapt to the new environment, the US will look for other privileged partners to do business with.
ECFR’s Power Audit — based on extensive interviews and on structured input from all the European Union’s 27 member states — reveals that Europeans have so far failed to shake off the attitudes, behaviours, and strategies they acquired over decades of American hegemony.
This sort of Europe is of rapidly decreasing interest to the US. The authors call for EU leaders to enter a new stage of EU-US relations, which requires Europeans to have their own positions on big strategic issues — Russia and European security, Afghanistan, the Middle East peace process, climate change and others– in relation to European interests and then engage with the US by negotiating compromises, instead of hoping to persuade and preserve transatlantic harmony for harmony’s sake without questioning.
Nice work, please go on!
