Afghanistan

[BCram]

You started a thread that interests me, you asked for thoughts so I contributed.3 pages in the usual drivel off topic stuff comes oot we the token smilees.Now you are saying I shouldn't read threads I am interested in? Mibbe If we stayed on topic I could ignore the stuff I don't want to read.
Be single figure posters on here soon I wud imagine.

Agree this is an interesting topic. why respond to SNP dig? Bin Laden was taken out in 2011. Trying to get civil society to defend itself against the Taliban seems to have been a poor strategy.

Mibbe if the UK government didn't follow the USA like a puppy dog we wouldn't have a responsibility to these people in Afghanistan. Another unnecessary war that we are still paying the price for in lives and monetary.

We went into Afghanistan after the 9/11 outrage in 2001 as the Taliban were harbouring terrorists. What do you think would have happened if we had left the Taliban to run Afghanistan back in 2001.

Showing your age there, Douglas. Mind you in those days DCTs actually printed some decent stuff not just in the Hotspur. Pains me to say, considering my late father worked for DCT for c. 40 years, nowadays their supposed newspapers are full of less sense than their comics of yore!

With a granddaughter who collects the Beano I want to confirm your opinion. Beano stories have a moral and a laugh. Cheats never prosper, honesty always best, kindness is very important. Only thing they don't promote Dark Blue good, Tangerine bad !!
