We will never be successful in pacifying Afghanistan (and the NWFP) unless the vast majority of the population choose not to take arms up against us. Now, having to cancel your polo game and suffering financially is not as bad as having your house blown up or being jailed without trial for years. However, in its own way, it demonstrates how the pig-headiness of a few can create problems for the many. How many Wakhi will now take up arms against NATO and Pakistani troops? Why couldn’t the CIA listening post have been placed elsewhere, or moved, or simply endured a game or two of yak polo? Britain and the rest are not just fighting a war in Afghanistan, they are fighting for a peace as well. That peace will only come if we stop doing things like this.

Interesting seeing you try to engage at Rightwingsparle's. I hope you don't have high expectations.
I have been friends with Sparkle for many years. I like to discuss things with Republicans.
