Unclench the American fist

US President Barack Obama is constantly trying to portray himself as an ambassador of the peace. However, his statements and actions are a proof that he wants to continue the American hegemony.

Obama said, “Two wars, one that needs to be ended responsibly, one that needs to be waged wisely.” On the other hand, Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of USA said that between 20,000 to 30,000 troops could be sent to Afghanistan. These statements clearly show the true intention of the Obama administration. Obama wants to intensify the war in Afghanistan.

Obama in his inaugural address said that “we will extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your fist.” But it is obvious that USA under the leadership of Obama wants to clinch its fist by sending 30,000 thousand troops in Afghanistan.

Obama could not been elected until and unless he agreed with the USA’s establishment. Now he is trying to repay the debt by extending the establishment's agenda.

Obama should try to learn lessons from the history of the aggressors and colonizers and unclench the American fist.
