Letter to the I: Women in Afghanistan

I would like to thank Kim Sengupta for his thoughtful article "West Must Not Fail Women on Afghanistan again".  His reference to the anti-war left's opposition to our involvement puts them with interesting company.  The UKIP right wing and the American Alternative Right under Steve Bannon are also against Western involvement in Afghanistan.  But as Mr Sengupta wisely pointed out, there are consequences to inaction as well as action when it comes to our footprint abroad.  The US and the UK leaving Afghanistan to burn will just make Afghans mistrust the West even more.

Regards
