"If we don't visit them.... they will be visting US!"
They are ALREADY here.
The Taliban are religious fundamentalists. 25% of births in the UK are to families of a certain religion...guess which one? That means, in 40/50 years, at least 25% of the population will be of that same 'persuasion' (deliberate use of that word). The insistance of having a high reproduction rate in the major religions (see Rabbi Sachs recent comments) means that there is potential for serious tension brewing...on this very group of islands.
Its not race....its not colour....its culture, backed by organised religion. Yet most of our political parties are playing ostrich...for fear of 'offending' someone.
The idea of UK troops being used as shields for an openly corrupt regime (even more than ours!) leaves a nast taste in the mouth. If we are going to defend 'democracy'...at least let us make sure it IS democracy.
