Britain told: do peace deal with Taliban!
Read this The man's got a point!-This is Britain's FIFTH conflict in Afghanistan in the last 160 years and we don't seem to have learned anything from all our time there!-The Afghan people are fighters from birth,theirs' is a warrior culture going back before the days of Alexander the great!-They've been invaded over a dozen times in their history and have been fighting continually now for the last 30 years,First the Soviets,then the Taliban and Nothern Alliance and now us,so they're very good at it!Also the terrain is mountainous so it only needs a relatively small force of strong willed men to hold up a larger force almost indefinitely!During the Soviet occupation,which lasted almost ten years,the mujahadeen,after a rocky start,drove the Russian forces to a standstill,forcing them to fight a defensive war and eventually contributing to the collapse of the Soviet Union!-When the Western leaders finally wake up to the fact that a victory is almost impossible without massive troop deployments,years of fighting and hundreds if not thousands more casualties,which are completely unacceptable,then they have to go to the negotiation table and sit down with the Taliban and try to come to some sort of compromise.If the United States wants its oil and gas pipeline then it has to talk to these people or it won't be built and when the oil finally does start flowing whats to stop the Taliban blowing it up whenever they want?Every war in history has ended at the negotiation table,and all that ever needs to be decided by both sides is how many innocent people die before that time is reached!
