Re: Not good news-Afghanistan

I'm sure it will be merz. Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts. It's a good film anyway but the subject matter, being based on the truth, is desperate

Re: Not good news-Afghanistan

Must Be a terrifying time for anyone who has a loved one over there.

I agree with others, "what are we doing there" its time I think, they will never win what ever they are trying to achieve, and come home.

Someone was telling me a story the other day... wont go into details but this chap from Iraqi wa shaving a bit of a to do with someone born here in the UK.

This chap was complaining about somethign or other, (to do with the UK and the conflict) ?the English man basically told him, if he did not like it go back to his own country and fight his own wars... instead of letting our lads do it for him!!

I have to say , one does wonder why we are fighting every ones else's wars... things will not change in any of these Countries until the civilians stand up and fight for them selves...

Re: Not good news-Afghanistan

It puzzles me too as to why all the allies are there, the Russians got a bloody nose there in the 80's and departed, we the British were there during the days of the Indian Raj at the start of the last century and had to pack it in, remember the Northwest frontier ?

It's another Vietnam, a no win situation for us all, pull the boys out and let the Taliban get on with it, we've lost over 200 of our boys and for what ?
