	A Comment on Karzai Awarding Ghazi Amanullah Khan Medal to NATO Commander
		If we view NATO in the context of its whole activities in/against Afghanistan and, specifically in the Panjwayi incident, we will come to the conclusion that bringing blood bathes to villages, pounding their livelihoods, depriving Afghans of very basic human rights is no "service." It is a shame.
		The equation [ISAF equals NATO] leads us to the credible assumption that the misuse of the ISAF cover for a UN mandated International peace-keeping force was a planned and politically-militarily oriented maneuver to shape the force in such a way as to fit US designs.
		It seems as if NATO wanted to take out the insurgents together with the local population until a de-populated, empty Afghanistan is under their writ.
