Theres two rules in war - don't invade russia in winter and stay out of Afghanistan - The war in Afghanistan is completely unwinable ... the minute the US and their British poodles pull out the Taliban will take power back again. If the Soviet Union couldn't get a permanent victory in Afghanistan with no regard to how many people they killed to get it how are America and the UK supposed to do it?

You'd kinda forgive America for not realising that victory in Afghanistan is impossible but you'd think the Brits would remember Gandamak. I mean you can bomb rock, desert and wasteland as much as you want but it will only get you so far. The Taliban and co can just disperse and short of Nuking the place you can't get them all. The minute they pull out the fundamentalists will march on Kabul.
