Letter to the I: Troops in Afghanistan

With regards to Valerie Crews' letter I beg to differ with her on our involvement in Afghanistan.  Very simply; we broke it, we bought it.  It is unfair on the Afghans to give them a chance of freedom only to snatch it away. For the first time women are going to university.  For the first time their culture is starting to flourish away from Taliban censorship.  It is disingenuous to say that we want our troops to leave because of current Afghan civilian casualties.  If the Taliban takeover the country again there will be plenty more of them.
