Letter to the I: Afghanistan Letter

British public reactions to ongoing bad news from Afghanistan is setting an all too familiar pattern.  The overwhelming consensus is that we should never have gone to there in the first place and that all NATO forces should leave.  It has to be remembered that the Taliban far from being an entirely indigenous force in Afghanistan is a proxy of the Pakistani intelligence services, who have their own agenda.  The elected government of Afghanistan wish for NATO forces to remain and help preserve their important advances in democracy and women's rights.  The Stop the War Coalition  and it's supporters would be incredibly callous and cowardly to allow these advances to collapse to suit their warped consciences.
