On the BBC site today they quote someone saying the country (afghanistan) is now in danger of slipping into civil war - WTF have the last 20 years been about.
Afghanistan is another Vietnam and Korea.
Massive amount of US war machine, only to be ousted by the local militia.
A waste of money, manpower and embarrassment.
IMO of course.
Economic opportunities by exploitative Western Nations such as the US and ourselves.
Bombs and gunfire being exchanged by Afghan forces and the taliban, with cities being occupied. Hundreds of thousands of civilians being displaced.
If it's not civil war already then I don't know what is.
But it's okay, it'll be occupied by Western forces within a month to create the illusion of peace for a while. Not forgetting those sweet, sweet economic opportunities though.

The only reason that historically (and I'm talking 1800's or so) we got involved was to stop the Russians coming down to nobble the Jewel in the Imperial Crown.
Personally I would let the Taliban get on with their wish to go back to the good old Medieval Times.
Seems a bit odd the way that the Taliban have been all conquering.
Not much of a civil war as easy victory follows easy victory for them.
