I repeat "I want UK troops out of Afghanistan". Not just because of my son. But because we should never have been there in the first place.
But equally I do not agree with what was going on in Afghanistan before we got there. I have read books on the region pre Russian invasions, and it was a beautiful country with beautiful people. Spoiled by the corrupt few.
I don't know what the solution over there is. I know ultimately we are going to pull out, and until then there is going to be loads of lives lost needlessly on all side.
And I pity those that are going to fall back into the hands of the corrupt again. Well the even more corrupt again.
Perhaps you will choose to go and live there when all western powers have gone. It sounds like you have no problem with the previous regime.
This is a horrible thread, and this is my last post in it.
