Much handwringing across the collective Capitals of the Western World today, as the Barbarians bray loudly on the gates of Kabul and every photojournalist trains his lens at the roof of the US Embassy for a shot at immortality. Lazy columnists and armchair generals are all over the News Channels bemoaning the blood and treasure expended in a seemingly futile cause over 20 years. Images of Taliban cruising the streets waving their newly acquired US equipment in the air are doing nothing for Uncle Joe’s blood pressure. It’s undeniably a cunt that it’s all going to end in a bloodbath while the Allies watch on feeling like they’ve fallen for the military version of three card Monty. However, given in recent times the Brits, Russians and Yanks have all had a go at taming these weirdos and have all failed miserably, perhaps the next chapter is some CIA-contrived incident along the tiny China-Afghan border and the PLA will be let off the leash to go totally fucking postal. Here’s hoping.
