US policy
The United States, the self-styled watchdog of the whole world, is always very much concerned about democracy, terrorism, human rights etc. They are very much focused on what is happening all over the world except the US itself. In 2001, the US attacked Afghanistan in the name of war against terrorism. We have seen that the war actually cleared the path for terrorism to spread all over the world. However, the US feels that Afghanistan is a threat to the world but Israel is not a terrorist country. Rather, when the Israeli helicopter gunships attack the Palestinian people, the US never opposes such brutal activities. What are we to surmise?
