    Chris - no, for 'hearts and minds' a better comparison would be the Mayasian emergency than the American farce of Vietnam. Mi Lei (?spelling) hearts and minds!!!

    Again I do not think your Afghan comparison is good either. One Afghan elder in one of the recent documentaries had nick-named a British interpreter a version of Alexander as a tribute to him, not as an insult! Regardless the mission as I said is not to leave behind a western clone and you have no evidence to suggest that the majority of Aghanis would support the Taliban and living traditional lives does not necessarily equate to support for the Taliban either.

    Interesting, I heard the other day on the Beeb that one of the leading contenders to succeed Karzai (?) is a woman. What a change that is....
