The War on the Home Front

The Guardian: Reports on how the War in Afghanistan is seen in the UK, and how long the public will support the War. If our suppose NATO Allies will not add their troops to the fight it will be asked by the public how long we should fight to protect Europe. The NATO Allies have to get their crap together and send more troops out to Afghanistan and more to fight in the bloody place. If we lose Afghanistan then Europe could be set ablaze by the terrorists, thus Europe show some back bone and fight with your allies, the UK and the USA.

UK Car Bailout

The Times: Reports that UK Government will bailout the UK Car Industry. Folks this is just the start, it can be guaranteed that other sectors of the economy will come cap in hand to the government to ask for money. The Western Governments will create a stagnant economy, we are returning to history folks, welcome back to the 1970s, rather than the UK being the sick man of Europe, the Western System will be the sick man of the system. The Government will be the major factor in business from banking to cars. The old system of Government control of the economy is back, look what happened to the old Soviet Union. The massive government spending will only delay the final result, bad business structures will fall, but from that harsh environment a new business sector will grow, we could have that now but the government are afraid, thus expect a few years of misery before we have another Thatcher and Reagan.

Never be Forgotten ?

BBC News: Reports on the visit to Afghanistan by the UK PM Gordon Brown and his tribute to those British Soldiers that died in combat yesterday. The PM stated that these soldiers will never be forgotten, it can be postulated that the same thing was stated in the 19th Century when the UK sent in troops to Afghanistan, do you see their names on any walls. The War in Afghanistan can never be won by the West, it can be downgraded to a small scale conflict, the local tribes and the government have to come to together, the people have to want peace. The West can not create a Western system in Afghanistan, it has its own culture, what we can do is to show how its in the interest of the government and the people to move in their culture awareness. The Obama Plan for a surge in Afghanistan might work, but it can be argued that in the long term it will fail, you have to win the heart and souls of the population. Also you have to get control of the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan. The Terrorists can attack in Afghanistan and run back over the border to Pakistan. Thus the future problem for President Obama is will he send combat troops in to the badlands of the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan.
