'저는 그들의 땅을 지키기 위하여 싸웠던 인디안들의 이야기를 기억합니다. 백인들이 그들의 신성한 숲에 도로를 만들기 위하여 나무들을 잘랐습니다. 매일밤 인디안들이 나가서 백인들이 만든 그 길을 해체하면 그 다음 날 백인들이 와서 도로를 다시 짓곤 했습니다. 한동안 그 것이 반복되었습니다. 그러던 어느날, 숲에서 가장 큰 나무가 백인들이 일할 동안 그들 머리 위로 떨어져 말과 마차들을 파괴하고 그들 중 몇몇을 죽였습니다. 그러자 백인들은 떠났고 결코 다시 오지 않았습니다….' (브루스 개그논)

The US-led NATO mission in Afghanistan is heating up while NATO struggles with the costs and its own existence.

NATO, first conceived as a balance to the Soviet Union during the Cold War, is looking for relevance in the 21st century.

Rick Rozoff, the manager of Stop NATO International, argued that NATO no longer has any relevance, and should be stopped, both in Afghanistan and elsewhere.

NATO has grown from 12 to 28 members, and is merely serving the purposes of the US and other major Western European powers.

Rozoff said, NATO does not promote democracy as many believe, in fact it does the opposite, intervening in the affairs of other nations to secure energy, resources, safety and trade routes for the major western powers; Afghanistan is a prime example of this.

And the Afghan war is becoming the model for NATO moving forward in the 21st century. NATO has evolved from a defensive pact between nations to an offensive global entity, one the US touts as an alternative to the UN.
