Afghanistan

Here we are nearly nine years after the "Liberation" of Afghanistan and what exactly have we achieved? opium production is higher than ever (no pun) home grown terror is greater than at any other time and the taliban seem just as strong.
When we eventually leave under the banner of success, hailing the job complete and handing over to a "credible" Afghan security force will we really be able to say all the lives lost were worth it?
It's going to take a lot more than a few million from Tony's book to put this one right!
