Americans do not trust anything about our previous governments. They do not trust anything about any of our governments.”

A political commentator says people in the United States no longer trust any US government due to Washington’s bellicose policies in Afghanistan.

The so-called insider attacks against the foreign forces in Afghanistan are rapidly increasing as the anti-US sentiments rage on in the country. 

Press TV has conducted an interview with Gordon Duff, the senior editor of Veterans Today from Ohio, to shed more light on the issue of the US invasion of Afghanistan. What follows is a rough transcription of the interview. 

Press TV: I want you to connect the US elections and Afghanistan. Many have said that Afghanistan was a good war, according to the US government that is, but it is increasingly becoming the forgotten war at least in these US elections. 

Why is Afghanistan such a non-issue in these elections? 

Duff: Well, after 11 years of war no one is in favor of war. The reasons we went to war have been forgotten, when they brought up again the idea of 9/11… Thankfully there are a lot of Americans who have serious questions about 9/11. If you mention it to someone in the pop culture news, you will be attacked, but everyday Americans do not trust anything about our previous governments. They do not trust anything about any of our governments. 

If I were to ask the Americans ten years ago about Afghanistan, they would say it was a good war but today people are not sure if it was a good war and they definitely know that Iraq was a bad war. But now it is the war that is never ending.
