Our Afghan Ally..
Patrick ****burn brings some interesting stuff to the table... goes with the overall argument on winning the hearts and minds of the Afghan People...
A very simple, but profound answer is get out now and let them figure it out.. we fund the taliban anyways... it is a classic two edged sword.

For instance, one reason Afghan villagers prefer to deal with the Taliban rather than the government security forces is that the latter have a habit of seizing their sons at checkpoints and sodomizing them. None of our business, Mr Fox, who may be British Defense Secretary by this time next year, would presumably say. We are not in Afghanistan for the good government of Afghans: ‘Our troops are not fighting and dying in Afghanistan for Karzai’s government nor should they ever be.’ But the fact that male rape is common practice in the Afghan armed forces has, unfortunately, a great deal to do with the fate of British soldiers.
