We have all witnessed what has happened in Syria over the last year or so………and soon the Allies will start removing their troops from Afghanistan and as so many have reported…..they are not capable of protecting the fragile democracy that we have created for them…….and it has been hinted that after the withdrawal will coming a return of a Taleban led government……but how accurate is that prediction?
(Newser) – Afghanistan is in danger of descending into civil war after coalition forces end their frontline role next year, and the UK government’s strategy appears to be simply to withdraw and hope for the best, a group of British lawmakers warns. A report from a cross-party defense committee warns that coalition forces’ failure to reduce violence does not bode well for Afghanistan’s future, and the government has done little to counter the perception that the pullout is basically “withdrawal through fatigue,” the Guardian reports.
The committee said an Afghan-led peace deal with the Taliban is key to securing the country’s future, as are free elections and efforts to combat corruption and the drug trade, the BBC reports. The lawmakers expressed concern that not enough was being done to train and equip Afghan forces before the pullout. “We hope that Afghanistan can become a secure, prosperous, and flourishing country but we are concerned that Afghanistan could descend into civil war within a few years,” the report concludes.
A civil war…..much like what is happening in Syria and yet another breeding ground for AQ and its ilk…….there will be enough weapons lying around to fuel such a war……and there are enough corrupt government officials around to make the case for a regime change……….and then there will be the lack of America ‘enforcers’ on the ground….to me it sounds like a breeding ground….as always I ask my readers……what are your thoughts?
