since when was war declared here against afghanistan? it wasnt. war was declared on al qaeda and those that helped them. The Taliban allowed afghanistan to be used as a training camp for those evil people. that is a fact and that is why they were set upon. How well that has gone is not the issue.
we can go round in circles, but the UN Security Council made this a 'legal' war.
anyway. like I said before. France opposed such wars. Strongly opposed Iraq 2003. Yet the other week, they had a squaddie in Paris get stabbed to death by an Islamic nutter. Whats the excuse there if the season we are under threat is mainly because of illegal wars?
my opinion is that we are too scared to offend islam in general over here that we allow preachers of hate, those who hate our way of life (not benefits or NHS though) we allow them to stay and as a result, radicalise Michael from islington and the like. That has little to do with the politics of Afghanistan, a country that none of these folk have probably ever been, nor would have likely to go to had 9/11 never happened
