Afghanistan; we're just wasting brave lives on a country we'll never free...

It is certain that British troops will quit Afghanistan in the next few years, leaving that country, as it is now, corrupt, repressive and ruled either by warlords or mullahs.

Don't miss:

1. Afghanistan: 'It's a war we just can't win...
2. "Our boys in Afghanistan sacrifice their lives for an evil regime ..."
3. Bagram in Afghanistan, worse than Guantanamo?
4. In Afghanistan, a man can starve his wife if she refuses to have sex with him.
