A futile fight is right. Whether we stay or withdraw, win or lose (impossible to win), the moment we leave the internecine fighting will resume. Lesson from Vietnam: let the natural order of internal politics and nationalism play itself out. The people's will will be done one way or another. Eventually.

Hi Jenks,
If we bring them back what then? They are also men and soldiers at that. Do you think that if we pull the troops out the region will be a better place ruled by a fanatical stoneage bretheren who detest women and consider it better to die and go to a better place than live and make a difference. Also to pray for 5 hours a day rather than work to make their country better for themselves and families. I suppose if thats what they want to do they are welcome to it. 80% of the UK's heroin comes from that god forsaken place also. 9/11 and the murder of innocents in a London underground would sway my argument. Perhaps on reflection we should pull the troops out but with the understanding that if they encroach on OUR way of life or try to obtain access to Pakistans nuclear arsenal they will regret the day they were born. The ordinary population are caught up in it all unfortunately.Its the fabnatics that hate the west and wish to destroy us.We either allow them to have their way or contest their beliefs,including the gangsters who also are involved in drug running.Just my view.
Sid.
