Remberance Sunday and Afganistan

On the treadmill this morning I was moved by an interview on the Andrew Marr show with a young Solider aged 18 or 19 years old who had lost his legs whilst serving in Afganistan.

Later in the day at Church I read the list of the fallen from World War 1 and World War 2.

The mission in Afganistan is a challenging one the lost of life and injuries are of course tragic but the price of allowing the Taliban along with other extremist Islamic Fundementalists is one that Britian can not afford.

On the issue of Afganistan Gordon Brown has called it spot on withdrawl before the competition of the mission is not an option.
