&lt;p&gt;
Well it&amp;#39;s to fight terrorism. We know the worst we can imagine is that the Taliban will rule again.
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
Feel free to  check http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_war_in_Afghanistan
And there we can read:
&amp;quot;. The US viewed the conflict in Afghanistan as an integral Cold War struggle, and the CIA provided assistance to anti-Soviet forces through the Pakistani intelligence services, in a program called Operation Cyclone.[72][73]&amp;quot;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
The following page is cited also: http://www.greenleft.org.au/node/24198
&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;p&gt;
Now think  about it. The Criminal Intelligency Agency was authorised be the president of the United state to &amp;quot;handle&amp;quot; that stuff. Well how would you name something like supporting war in without beeing involved officially. The CIA works outside any limits, I guess the way things work is the president says something. the CIA hears and start acting. They can so without much control from any parliament, They even can gather their own finaces with illegal transactions (e.g selling drugs) So the US fights drugs at the US/Mexican border but the CIA is free to just ignore that. Feel free to fetch the Book &amp;quot;Liberty defined&amp;quot; by Ron Paul. 
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
Now if you bee a soldier down in Afghanistan. Guess what you are fighting someone who was financed and supported by your own government, You feel that &amp;quot;thrill&amp;quot;? 
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
The state never was the solution to any problem and you can see it&amp;#39;s getting worse the bigger the state gets. In  the end one really can day &amp;quot; you got what you&amp;#39;ve paid for...&amp;quot; Big government -&amp;gt; big injustice and -&amp;gt; a terrifying large number of casualties.

&lt;p&gt;
If democracy is that great why do our &amp;quot;democrats&amp;quot; arrange themselves with dictators? 
&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;p&gt;
Just see what happens in North-Africa currently. The old &amp;quot;gangs&amp;quot; are simply driven away. Have you ever heard of anything to help them?
It seems silence was more &amp;quot;wanted&amp;quot;. Bahrain is  very special case. You remember the bough the F1 circus and suprise they got the football world champion ships.....
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
Now there still are a few dictatorships around. One of the biggest is flattered like nothing else. It&amp;#39;s just &amp;quot;oh what big a market&amp;quot; there is. Hardly a word about &amp;quot;oh see how nice the suppress their citizens&amp;quot;. Just remember a 25 years ago, the people where killed on a  place with &amp;quot;peace&amp;quot; in it&amp;#39;s name. There is but one &amp;quot;renegade&amp;quot; there and they constantly live in fear of war from this &amp;quot;mother country&amp;quot;. It&amp;#39;s Taiwan, do we here of support for Taiwan? Well just as silent as possible....
&lt;/p&gt;

If Democracy is that great how comes that the EU is undemocratic to the bones? 
The only people having rights to vote are politicians from the diverse countries, agreed there is an EU parlament, but
the laws are suggeste by the EU commisson and those are the diverse ministeres of the countries. As you might know even those
can not to controlled during their tenure of office, and well what nobody from our EU population can do is 
to file a suit against law breaking of their politicians. Fact is the  EU countries have overvoted laws they themselves have decided. 

The result is an astonishing &amp;quot;nothing&amp;quot;. 

So either democracy is a good thing than what hinders politicians to extend democracy?

Well let&amp;#39;s be honest,  the just thing democracy is a good thing, as long as they are voted and then left alone. They promise anything before
the vote and break everything with a smile thereafter. Well yes in the end they are just democratic legalized defrauders....
And they use this power to afflict every one.....

And laws are arranged that anyone suffers under them but &amp;quot;Politicians&amp;quot;. We in Germany have publich health care system and guess who does not fall 
below it. You just have one guess free....

We have mostly public system about pensions. Guess who has some extra laws regarding their pay-in duration? 
And guess who gets more than 90% of all Germans during their retirement age. 

One of our most well known politicians has accepted illegal donations for his party, and guess what he said about it. &amp;quot;I have them my promise not to betray them.&amp;quot; Well 
if it&amp;#39;s not a politician he will go to jail for such kind of things. This politician still&amp;#39;s member of the parliament. This is also the one who has given up one of the most stable Fiat-money currencies for what? Another stupid and even less rigid fiat-money, and now we have the mess. More debts than ever, hardly bearable and well if one might thing they will pay it back.....
