Is it just me, or does anybody else think we are being sucked into something we really don't want to be getting involved in.
Right the way back to Alexander the Great, Darius III and the Mongols, history shows that Afghanistan has been a nightmare, with invading armies either trying and failing to dominate the region, or having dominated it for a short while, getting kicked out in the next invasion.
Apparently the fact that we fought and lost 3 Anglo-Afghan Wars between 1839 and 1919, the fact the Soviets couldn't cope, the fact that the country was destroyed by a civil war lasting almost a decade, has all been ignored by Bliar and his mob in favour of a token deployment to make this awful government look good to the rest of the world.
No one has managed to sort Afghanistan out in over 2000 years, may be that should have been a hint
