In your scenario, how were you planning to get the Afghan people out of the area before you did this?

As I suspected. Seems a bit odd to me advocating collective punishment on a country. The Taliban terrorise their own as well as the western forces in Afghanistan.

The country's a complete shambles. I've two sons coming back next week after a tour - both reckon we're wasting our time

Are you being serious? ETA: Sorry, beaten to it by other like minded people.

Your sons, like the majority of their NATO colleagues, are brave and resolute men. This country owes them a lot. However, the mission hasn't really failed, has it? It was never our intention to 'civilise' the Afghans or turn the country around completely. It was simply a case of getting rid of Al-Q which we've pretty much done in Afghanistan (it's just a shame so many have moved to Pakistan).

The initial mission of defeating Al-Q was a success, the fight we've now got ourselves into with the taliban is however a different matter.

TBH, the original fight was also to get rid of the Taliban as they were (as the government) giving safe haven to AQ training sites.

Jimbo, if you would be so kind as to name the US administration that failed to complete the job in the first place before leading the western world into a false and corruptly instigated war if you would please...
