Ross thats a new word to me..."merkins", not sure if I follow that. But the hearts and minds thing is not a philosophy that works anyway in my view. Foreign forces on your soil is not a recipe for love and affection amongst the indigenous. Most people on the ground would see any kind of foreign troops sticking their oar in as an occupation force, no matter what the politicans in far off Kabul or anywhere might tell you.
BarryW yes your right as soon as we pull out the Taliban will come back in waves. They are already there in waves or droves... like a fluid conconction in a bowl. You stick your UK forces finger in the bowl and the liquid just shifts to accomodate it, but shifts right back to the spot you were in before, as soon as you move your finger.
