 Afghanistan - zippy
The asinine comment referred to your last paragraph - i.e. why don't you go and do something about it then - knowing that it totally not what this discussion is about and is oft used as a goading point by fishwives when they have no valid points to make in an discussion - "oh well, if you don't like it why don't you do something about it" (Why am I imagining Eric Idle in drag saying this?)

Apply what standard to others. I have suggested that Afghans are being targeted by the Taliban. I am not condoning it. I also inferred that it is wrong that (a) tribe(s) of Taliban terrorists are overthrowing legitimate rule in the country. That is wrong. Whether we should be involved or not is moot point. Our leaders have decided that we are not going to be involved any further.

We will leave it to the Chinese no doubt, who will extract copper from one of the biggest untapped copper mines in the world.

>>On the one hand you dislike being targeted by the security forces of the UK over what you
>>might do, yet nonetheless apply that standard to others. Is the irony that invisible to you?

I don't think that I have mentioned it in this post. I have pointed out some newspaper reports that people are making odd comments re support of the Taliban which I think is legitimate, because the Taliban have been known for ages to be our enemy in that country.

Anyway. I've been up for 20 hours so I'm off to bed.
