Show more »There are some differences with the position of the Soviets in that Russia was then seeking to maintain a non democratic Communist government in power in country on its borders for ideological reasons. We are in Afghanistan to fight terrorism. The geographic isolation of the country with a tribal population having very conservative social traditions has proved an ideal base for fundamentalists to exploit and we have to prevent that in order to protect our own country, its people and its values. I cannot see an exit strategy either at present but it is a war we must win. There were no exit strategies for the war against Hitler - we had to fight on. Show less »
