The real sad part of all this is that Britain has already fought two unsuccessful Afghan wars in the nineteenth century, surely history would have taught any invading army/coallition that no matter how well intentioned your on to a hiding for nothing.
We are fighting in the Talibans backyard, they aren't going anywhere, the only way this conflict can be resolved is politically not through military force.
And when we are dealing with a government that is as corrupt as Karsi's it doesn't instill confidence.
