soil but brian becker with the entire war answer coalition says there are many who no longer buy that argument. so i would say the american people who originally bought the position that this was a war to stop another september eleventh they have no longer believe that position they they now believe that it's a war for something else ill defined for the broad public bush administration launched the war in iraq for instance on a completely false pretext the war on terror in fact has become a slogan it will be all to meet we know and in history is the ultimate pretext to do whatever the u.s. government wants but in the case of iraq they invaded iraq hundreds of thousands died millions were made into refugees a beautiful country was torn apart and and divided along ethnic sectarian lines and iraq had nothing to do all to do with september eleventh likewise in afghanistan we have thousands of troops who are going to be in afghanistan for decades because this is part of a grand scheme to keep these countries under u.s. control as part of a u.s. americans fear of influence. our special cove

soil but brian becker from the antiwar answer coalition believes people no longer buy the argument sixty five percent two thirds of the country oppose the war in afghanistan they don't know why they're there why the u.s. is there they don't know what victory means and they favor ending the war in american people who originally thought the position that this was a war to stop another september eleventh they have no longer believe that position they they now believe that it's a war for something else and we have thousands of troops who are going to be in afghanistan for decades because this is part of a grand scheme to keep these countries under u.s. control as part of a us americans fear of influence what we see is the institutionalization of everything that started before september eleventh but accelerated the tendency towards militarism towards war towards occupation towards intervention towards torture black hole prisons rendition all of that has become institutionalized in spite of whoever is in the white house. our coverage of the nine eleven anniversary continues later in the progra

civilians continue fleeing the besieged city anti-war activist and director of the coalition brian becker says nato to be adding to the country's problems. clearly they're not protecting civilians when they're bombing cities that are considered to be pro khadafi when they're killing people not because they've done something wrong but because their own political beliefs are contrary to what nato wants in terms of the kind of government they want for libya so i think that they need to be brought to justice i think though unless there's a very strong international movement for human rights in this instance i think it's unlikely they will be brought to court but the goal of the nato powers is to carry out regime change so that the khadafi government is gone once and forever and that there. will be a new government that will not necessarily be more democratic or more humane but will be an ally or i would say in fact a proxy a client perhaps a puppet of western powers in this country that has the largest oil reserves in all of africa the ninth largest oil reserves in the world i think that real

kind of contouring to be learned from washington with more on this let's talk to brian becker he's from the coalition he's also in washington brian could see here on r t l though president obama promised to review bush's anti missile defense plans for europe as much changed. but not so much i think we have to also help the general public understand what a missile defense shield really is it's not about defense against incoming missiles it's a first strike weapon it's designed to take out other people's missiles so that there will be no reciprocity if there is some sort of military conflict so a sense ronald reagan developed the missile defense shield concept in the mid one nine hundred eighty star wars as it was termed euphemistically at that time the soviets the then warsaw pact countries and everyone else understood that the united states was trying to do away with the old system of mutually assured destruction in the event of nuclear war and gain a kind of primary advantage by having a system that would catch some missiles which would allow the u.s. to carry out first rate weapon att
