Loads of Afghans already in Iran, Turkey and Greece. They are marching Europe. Another crisis looms.

Hard to be on side with Russia when they are poisoning British citizens on UK soil. Russia has had plenty of chances to come on side but it’s not in Putins interests to do so.

It should have been done long before that. Before Putin got his claws dug in.

I hope Messrs Blair and Bush are happy at the outcome of the project they began.

Afghanistan: UK troops sent to get Britons out as Taliban advances

About 600 troops will be deployed on a short-term basis after the Taliban seized several cities.

It’ll be interesting to see if the Taliban have a go or not.

Not a fan of Blairs foreign policy generally, but the Taliban are awful. Stonings, public executions of homosexuals, the list goes on. I don't like meddling abroad but they are truly abhorrent.

Agree, but there are parts of the world where we have to let them get on with the ways they want.
We cannot make the world accept our ideas and practices. Even the merrycans are beginning to realise this.

That doesn't mean others don't want the same.

Why should they?

 

[PaddyJames]

Why should they?

Why wouldn't they?

 

[spectateur]

Why wouldn't they?

Because western/American culture is totally alien to them.

Given that 50% of the population are female, it would not take many decent men to create a majority of people in the country who oppose the brutality of the Taliban.
