  Harry, I think there is merit in your suggestions.
  
  The Taliban must think they are invincible now with the recent comments of various American and British military supremos.
  
  They certainly have a never-ending supply of people and arms; stopping both seems to receive less attention than it should as the soldiers are fighting on a day to day basis and not making much progress.
  
  They talk of changing tactics with the emphasis now on winning hearts and minds and not fighting the Taliban.
  
  If the Taliban are not destroyed, they will come back straight away, re-sow the poppies and re-harvest the Heroin crops and we'll be back to square one.
  They will also of course have control of Afghanistan again and have time to organise terrorist activites with Al Quaida around the World, almost at will.
  
  Britain and America are supporting a corrupt government that is not really a friend of the West (echoes of Rhodesia here); we should have declared the elections void and had them done again; why should our troops be killed to support a corrupt Government ?
