This has been all over the UK news today. We're supposed to be over there, building a stable government and this is what happens? Apparantly a member of the Taliban infiltrated the Afghan police force, yet the Afghan police have a long history of drug addiction and corruption and have long been in the pockets of the Taliban, trading weapons and having secret meets. We're supposed to be training these guys up to fight the Taliban, and the return for that is the assassination of our boys?

Surely isn't this enough now? Doesn't this just prove no matter what we do, nothing is going to change after we leave? It'll be the same despot shithole that it was before we went in there. If these people want to go batshit in their country I say let them. If the people really want to do something about it, they'll overthrow their government if that's what it takes.

But hey, if we're not dying over there by the thousands then the evil of Islam, that has now replaced the media fueled fear machine of communism, will only come to our shores right?!
