Excerpt from an article in, “The Intercept”

Full article, by Murtaza Hussain, is HERE


“ Kelly Campbell, co-founder of the organization 9/11 Families for Peaceful Tomorrows, recently led a delegation to Afghanistan to observe conditions in the country following the collapse of the government. As she described it, the impact of the economic crisis there was palpable, with the drying up of cash in the economy a major cause of the suffering.

“There are people waiting in bread lines and very poor children with malnutrition visible in public, but there are also many middle-class people rapidly falling into poverty. This is being driven in part because there’s no longer a functioning banking system and people are unable to access their salaries. It’s a problem that humanitarian aid alone is not going to be able to solve,” said Campbell. “The fact of the matter is that these reserves are the Afghan people’s money. The idea that they are on the brink of famine and that we would be holding on to their money for any purpose is just wrong. The Afghan people are not responsible for 9/11, they’re victims of 9/11 the same way our families are. To take their money and watch them literally starve — I can’t think of anything more sad.”

Afghanistan had nothing to do with 9-11.  Remember what Campbell said...  

"Not responsible"   

We need to be as compassionate as we can be in this world.  we need to stop letting the Military Industrial Complex ( something that General Eisenhower aka President Eisenhower warned us about) decide our Code of Honor as Americans.  We are better than that.
