CNN - Politics: Reports on its new poll on the US view of the Afghan War, the article notes the following, " ..Support for the war in Afghanistan has dipped below 20%, according to a new national poll, making the country's longest military conflict arguably its most unpopular one as well. ".
Lets Get Real:
Well the US public has taken its time, this blog HAS NEVER supported the Afghan War, the UK has the bloody T - shirt from previous Afghan Wars at the time of the Empire, no one ever benefits from invading Afghanistan, a sharp and short attack yes, the US and UK should have left Afghanistan after the fall of the Taliban and the displacement of Al Qaeda, instead it fell in to the trap of nation building, that has never worked, from the time of the British Empire in the 19th Century to the USSR invasion in the 20th Century. The Afghans hate it when they get invade, they can wait out any power, after the US and UK leave in December 2014 it can be expected than within six months the Taliban will be back at the door of the Capital. The only worse option would be for the US to leave a small force in Afghanistan, they would become daily targets, we could see pictures of the US helicopters taking out the last US personnel, very much like Vietnam in 1975. What ever the end it will be BAD, just depends how many US and UK personnel have to pay the price for a failed political policy.
