“The men and women of Afghanistan are building a nation that is free, and proud, and fighting terror - and America is honored to be their friend.”


What a brilliant quote from a ridiculous liberal...

However to get to the point at hand...

Luke over at 'An Organised Mess' has come up with an awesome challenge for the p4 team.

Given the recent deaths in the Uk and Us' assault on Afghanistan (8 UK deaths in 24 hours!) I felt I should really brush up on my knowledge of this topic.

My original instinct is to pull the troops straight out of Afghanistan, however this seems to be an act of surrender on our parts. When I continue to delve into this subject I found out that since we've been trying to restore democracy to this desolate wasteland, there have been almost 179 British deaths alone- this doesn't even account for the scores of fatalities this has caused.

So, to my second thought if we were to pull out of Afghanistan then there are a number of negative points which I should consider.

Take for instance, we do pull out, then surely the 178 deaths are in vain. If we really are there to restore democracy, then pulling out when we encounter problems seems to undermine the reasons those brave heroes went to war for.

Now I have no doubts than many will strongly disagree with the above, but that's the whole idea of opinions, we have the right to express our views.



Now I do agree that as per, Gordon Brown is being a typical bumbling wanker in refusing to send more vehicles equipt to deal with IED's and helicopters to provide the troops with easier transport to the strongholds those murderers hold.

I'm not suggesting that when the public make the epic mistake of electing Cameron into power that it'll all be solved because as much as he has promised, we all know that any politician never keeps there promises. (I'd vote Tory if I didn't think Cameron was such a tosser- UKIP all the way!)

However, I do feel that someone needs to step up to the mark and help those heroes (and there's no denying that they are), because if it wasn't for them, I guarantee that we'd be experiencing more terrorist attacks than we are.

If the labour government are happy to pay £6 million per hour to stay in the EU, then surely they can fund the necessary adequate equipment needed to help our troops...
