David Craig, on July 31st, 2010Breathless BBC reporters are telling us that our troops have achieved a great victory in Afghanistan by occupying a few compounds long since abandonned by Afghan freedom fighters.
This pointless war has lasted longer than two world wars; we have achieved nothing; the people killing our soldiers are ordinary Afghans resisting our occupation of their country; and the government we are supporting is rotten, corrupt, incompetent and drug-dealing. Why are our troops dying for nothing? Bring them home and leave the Afghans to rot in a hell of their own making.
