Is London the new Afghanistan??
I don't know, is it?
The following combat indicators may help us to decide:
1. Full of Islamic terrorists able to operate with impunity?
2. Pretensions to a multi-ethnic society, but more sectarian bile coming out of the most 'diverse' districts?
3. Ruled by an incompetent jirga of district councils, squabbling along tribal/party political lines?
4. Armed security forces clattering around in armoured police vehicles and helicopters to create a ring of steel for the fighting season/Jubilympics?
5. Endemic corruption at all levels of the industrial/military complex, from contractors to mayoral candidates?
Answers on a postcard please!
