VERSION|0.5.1|NAME|Stonyground|DATE|1358880190|CONTENT|With regard to Afganistan and other benighted and backward countries, it seems that there is no alternative but to leave them to sort out their own problems in their own time, no matter how long it takes. Armed interventions nearly always seem to end in failure and it seems pretty likely that the second the UK and US troops leave the place, it will return to the way it was.|EMAIL|elizabeth@iww1967.wanadoo.co.uk|IP-ADDRESS|95.150.29.241|MODERATIONFLAG|
