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.
