I am totally confused over the foreing policy of UK on Afghanistan and Pakistan after the end of Cold War. Is your government really concerned over the instability of Afghanistan or keeping the strategic partnership with Pakistan at the cost of religious fundamentalism spread in the region? How do you justify the death of more than 100 UK soldiers in Helmand only in 2009? Belongign to one of the most democratic nations on Earth, how do you justify the presense of UK troops in Afghanistna while dealing with Taliban?

Thanks." Show less »
