Giving them even more reasons to hate the Western world.

First the Qur'an burning now this from our allies, the sooner we withdraw our troops from there the better. For starters it is not the job of our Armed Forces to ensure that Afghan girls go to school. Then we have Karzai with elections coming up signing the 'Shia Personal Law' that is said to include provisions that require a woman to ask permission to leave the house except on urgent business, a duty to "make herself up" or "dress up" for her husband when demanded, and a duty not to refuse sex when her husband wants it. It is a medieval tribal country and no matter how long we stay there it will not change, we cannot impose a western style democracy on such a country.
This trotted out reason for us staying the distance that our presence there keeps our street safer does not wash with me.dhoby_bucket and EarlyChop like this.In Vino Veritas

Truth be told Finks, I don't think that "keeps our street's safer" waffle washes with anyone apart from the paranoid.
Sh1t shot, pumping slop.

Aye, I very much doubt if the waffle peddlers (MP's) believe it either. As the lady on question time pointed out last week, if that was the case we should be invading Pakistan.

The first question that comes to my mind is ... How did a soldier leave a camp in Afghanistan, on his own, with a weapon, at 3am? You would never get out of a UK PB/MOB in AFG on your own, you'd be stopped and if necessary arrested to stop you going out, for your own safety!
Serious questions need to be asked, on many levels, around this incident.Give a man a fish and he'll feed his family for a day,
teach a man to fish and he'll sit round on a boat all day drinking beer.

He was at a checkpoint and wandered off, so was in effect already out of camp Originally Posted by janner Give a man a fish and he'll feed his family for a day,
