Afghanistan

The situation in afghanistan is difficult. there's no real reason why we're there. i think the main reason for UK/US presence in the country is that they're trying to set up a democratic governing system. problem is that the afghans really don't want one, nor do they like outsiders occupying their land. the UK has had multiple experiences fighting the afghans and have had alot of trouble in that region, mainly because they're such dedicated, bastard fighters; who will literally fight tooth and claw to get you the fuck out of there. they actually developed a tactic, called butcher and bolt, which they employed against towns and such, as the name implies, they run and kill a load of people, the get the fuck out of there. and it worked pretty well. now though it's impossible to employ such dirty tactics and avoid war crime accusations thanks to NATO. basically we have a load of troops over there trying to maintain control over the regions while some dipshits far far away decides what the best course of action is. while the natives are getting more and more pissed off. it's a fucking shambles.

TL;DR shit is fucked

A good analysis, for 5 years ago. Most of Afghanistan is stabilised and in fact much of Afghanistan was stable even before the war began because it was occupied by the United Islamic Front for the Salvation of Afghanistan who had been fighting against the Taliban since 1996. The problem areas are along the Pakistan border and Helmand province where most poppy cultivation occurs.

Because supporting tyrants worked out for us in the past? The Pashtuns already have regional autonomy and they have dominated Afghanistan politics since the 19th century, if anything they are fighting to gain the total dominance they had in the past. It is more likely the Taliban is a combination of global muslim extremism, heroine dealers and mis-directed nationalism.
