IT DOESNT WORK LIKE THAT! We are partly responsable for the chaos Afganistan is in, we need to finish it off, or at least try to

If you feel that strongly - why are you not over there doing your bit. Why should others bear the weight of that responsibility - and risk their lives for other people who feel the way you do.

You try waking up in the morning and turning on the tv to find out that a soldier in a regiment a member of your family is in over there - has been killed and just willing that phone not to ring. And we were one of the lucky ones - ours came home - can't even begin to imagine what is like for the families of those that didn't.

Wonder what your views would be then? It is very easy to have strong opinions that other people have to pay for. On top of which - I do not believe our presence is benefiting the situation - all it is achieving is the death of our young troops.
