Subject: RE: Afghanistan - then and now
That's good. Let's hope it turns out that way.

BTW, I'm unhappy, too, about the UK's miserable, mealy-mouthed attitude towards refugees. These unfortunates didn't ask to be invaded but, having done the dirty deed and invaded, I believe it's the responsibility of the US, the UK, and all the other 'allies' to take responsibility for those they have failed so disastrously.

And let's hope that the lesson has been learned - invading another country is the easy bit, having a viable, ethical, equitable Exit Strategy is what's difficult. Without it, invasion is not the answer to anything. And, in this instance, the invaders failed miserably.

The usual disclaimers apply......IMHO, YMMV etc.
