The cost financially , and that in human lives , of the conflict in Afghanistan has become intolerable , most especially with an enemy who are prepared to commit suicide ! for their cause.
With today’s surveillance expertise ,where it is possible to read a newspaper over ones shoulder via space satellite’s ! it seems logical to suspend hostilities and form a BLANKET EMBARGO on these rogue states , following up with FURTHER EMBARGO’S on ANY country willing to trade with them ! which now could be monitored by the above mentioned surveillance expertise.
Of course an action such as this would have dire consequences on the civilian population , however this would be short term and let’s face it ! could their conditions be any worse ? most especially in the case of women.
The experts are saying that we may still be fighting this battle in another 20—-30 years and with the blind passion and fervour that come’s from religious based idealism as this , that statement is most likely fact ! and it ‘s about time the UNITED NATIONS got off their collective a——–s and nailed the problem with some 2009 strategy.
Yes ! the cost would be high, however there is no way it would be as high as it presently is ! also it would bring an end to such hostilities in a very short time compared to that which is at present stated.
