Lets Get Real:
The West, this includes the US and the UK want to end the Afghan War as it can NOT BE WON, this is not new to the British, we have been there during the Empire, it never ends well, the last time we kept a eye on them from then India, now Pakistan, if any problems we would bomb them, and had a troops on the border. This was a lesson learned by then USSR, now Russia, it was their Vietnam. It is the Americans who did not learn from history and are learning for themselves the same lessons former Empires had to learn. Those lessons are are quite simple, the Afghan like to fight between themselves, what does unite them is if a outside power comes in, then on the whole they unite to fight the invader. A clever invader uses the people of Afghanistan, develops a new government that secures peace for the people and is not corrupt, as never ending corruption will force people to support the opposition. After creating a new Army and Police the invader should leave, keep a tiny presence, a SMALL Embassy and make sure the Afghan on your side have the weapons they need. It is a matter of supporting that Government in the early years, that is when a new Kabul regime is under threat, that is the stage we are now, the Taliban want the PR victory of pushing the invader out. The main street is watching to see who wins the internal fight, the new government or the opposition. The Country on the whole will the support the winner. Interesting days ahead for Kabul and Afghanistan.
