So you support a continued war in Afghanistan??? Did we not learn from the Russian experience that you can't be there for any extended period of time? You get in and get out. Putting more troops in harms way there will not solve the problem Darren. The political situation is the problem and if not rectified no amount of troop buildup will change the situation.
