  It is very sad to see that 3 soldiers were killed yesterday by a suicide bomber in Afghanistan. It is very sad in many ways but particularly in the hoplessness of it all. There are few, other than politicians in Westminster, who see any point to it. And on top of that very few countries want to send troops there to help out. Not because they are all of a tremble over the prospect, but more that they recognise the utter pointlessness of it all.
  
  The Russians were there for years and years and found it to be a painful killing field. They eventually left having achieved nothing. It's rather like nature isnt it....five minutes after the humans depart, nature begins to take over again.
  
  So when the current troop committment pull out, having lost lives during that committment, so far 100 dead British Soldiers, all will immediately return to nature and nothing will have been achieved. The ivy will grow over the burnt out tanks and the poppy laden donkey will amble by, urged gently forward by its afghany master. Much as it has always been.
  
  There is an alternative..stay there forever.
