The Sunday Times: Reports on the challenges facing the West in Afghanistan, from the poverty of the people to the Tribal Warlords that control the people. If you want to know why VIEWS is ambivalent about Afghanistan read this article, it shows why the West cant win in the long run, it would take to long and cost to much of its treasure and manpower, but if we lose Afghanistan we could lose Pakistan, and the loss of a nuclear armed Pakistan to the Taliban would make the loss of Vietnam look like happy hour at the local. Also Iran would see that the Obama Administration was weak and go nuclear, as stated this would force Israel to take action, its quite a vicious circle when it comes to Afghanistan, that is why the British Empire on the whole kept is nose out, we had been burned to many times in the badlands of the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan, then it was of course British India, the Jewel of the Crown. Read of the Day.
