to source lots of high grade opium?

Pipeline from Khazakstan? You know they want it...and all they'd have to do in annex a bit of Pakistan - which we own anyway.

How else are we going to get lots of heroin for the new government schemes?

No. Next.

In fact, all the Afghan Wars have been pretty disasterous in essence, no matter who has fought them.

RAMBO did OK when fighting the Russians with the erm.. 'Muslim freedom fighters' in First blood II or was it III?

I think Nato is in Afghanistan for the the right reasons and support ther mission there.

Iraq is a completely different kettle of fish.

Right or wrong aside, this conflict and Iraq kept the military machines' wheels nicely oiled for the last few years.

With all this talk of recession, Iran seems a cert.

Unless of course the mad mud mullahs wake up and replace whats his name with a more "moderate" clown not so intent on getting smashed by the rest of the world (by that I mean America with britain and a few others on their coat tails ).

If only that were true. Military are massively under budgeted.

Especially now the CIA have stated that actually Iran's not as big a threat as 'we' thought ...

Looks like a country in serious need of liberation, leading to Iran being a beacon to the middle east for peace and democracy.

Unless you were an Afghan.

They should have outsourced this conflict to India!

This needs a poll. I like polls. I want to vote for AndyW.

[TimberWolf]

I know why we went in the first time, but forgotton why we went in the second time.

Right or wrong? A bit more interesting than deciding who got pissed last Friday. Here you have in a nutshell the decline of British Civilisation.
