Andrew Murray considers the War in Afghanistan and concludes that it has become all about face–saving face. A nugget:
That may seem scary. But then it is the same world order that gave us the crash of 2008. Poverty, unemployment and eye-watering cuts are the down-payment the British people are being asked to pay for its maintenance. Afghan and Pakistani civilians are paying a still higher price.
Another way of putting it would be to say, as my mother used to say when she tired of my questions, we’re still there, well, just because.
