Today’s story is an interview with Hamid Karzai the leader of Afghanistan where our young men die for a country with totally different religion and values. (Can someone do a story for me about what credentials our government has in taking care of conflicts with peoples of such starkly different beliefs? Did we not once fund those people who we fight in Karzai’s country? Did we not help building paramilitary groups who purportedly claimed victory on 9/11 to overthrow the occupation of the Soviet Union? I want to see more coverage of these stories.) People concerned with corporate issues will want these views to shut up. But this blog is all about shouting out the rights of individuals everywhere. Taking time expressing the individualist point of view in Afghanistan all people win equally. The individualist wins along with members of Afghanistan when news gains the ability to seek their points of view. This is a great opportunity for all Afghanis to stand behind Karzi. Although Karzi apparently bought his election this incentive buys a second chance at helping his nation rebuild a workable society in which people prosper.

This story shows that Karzai is willing to stand up and speak out about wrongdoing of American subcontractors in his country. Karzai takes a first step toward credible handing issues of his people. The story shows that money and profits overshadow true security for his people and everyone involved in Afghanistan. The corporate news will not spotlight this story because it simply is not profitable. In addition it shows corporations in a bad light which shines to remind people that certain things should never be organized for-profit companies. For profit no matter how much their PR campaigns build propaganda about how individuals prosper, individuals are of its last concerns. This story can be run on the headline of human interest. If Hamid Karzai continues to show leadership in stepping up for the rights of individuals of his country then he has a chance earning credible backing of his people. Corporate wants his people and his resources. Regardless of people corporations seek nothing but exploitation of people and hording of resources. Corporations would love to partner with Karzai to exploit his workforce and resources. Leading his people, Karzai must step into any negotiations with corporate investment in his country and demand the same standards of counties whose factories now lay dormant and resources stripped.
