What a total waste of time , but most importantly what a total disgrace that so many lost lives on a conflict that a) could never be won and b) never had an end point.
well the end point is that the country is totally back to square 1.
the powers that be should hang there heads in fuckin shame. Tony blair is a **** of the highest order and has A LOT of blood on his hands

I was over the mountains
and over the sea
by hercules transporter
to fight the Afghani
with a rifle in my hand
to set the country free
but it you're picture in my pocket
that means everything to me
Now I'm sucking dust in Helmand
dug into Lashkar gar
where the local weed and opium
beats ang British bar
For the boys who didn't come home
thanks to the Levellers - they're take on the Recruiting Sergeant.

Feels like 1975 again. The US is already preparing to pull embassy staff and nationals out of Kabul.

Tony Blair. This war was always going to happen not much British could have done to stop it.
Or as Neville Chamberlain said, "people in a far away country for whom we care bugger all."From a purely practical standpoint, you are absolutely correct. It's just too difficult to successfully intervene.
But from a moral standpoint, it is tough to just standby and watch people being treated so terribly and to do nothing simply because some they are the other side of some arbitrary line which we call another country. We are all humans on the same planet.
If you saw a neighbour beating his wife or god-forbid, his kids, I would hope no-one would say "it's up to them what they do in their house/garden". Yet if it's done in another country it's OK? Doesn't sit right with me.

Tony blair took uk troops to afghanistan. He didnt have to, only he had his nose buried in GWB’s ring piece. Same as iraq. Although he lied on that one.Tony Blair. This war was always going to happen not much British could have done to stop it.
