No easy answer... other than it would have been better if we'd never gone there. Thanks, Mr Blair.

It looks like Vietnam over again - it's battle that we and the Americans are bound to lose.
As long as the Taliban persist (and they have plenty of support in the Islamic world), they will win in the end, partly because it's their country and they have nowhere else to go. Even the Americans will pull out eventually, just as the Russians did.

It's a problem for the politicians - they will want to get out without admitting that they were wrong and that it was a lost cause from the start.

Should not have gone in the first place, when we eventually pull our troops out how long will it take for the country to be back to how it was before we found it

Im finding it hard to not vent my spleen on this thread.

I heard an interview today that said the guy only did it because his family was under threat.
Mmmm i have the answer to that and any more that think that way.

Shit i need to be careful.

Yes, let's get the feck out of there right now. FFS we wouldn't support Mugabe's idea of democracy so why are we support this cheating fecker??

He should get a straight red for simulating an election
