The best thing to happen is for the people who started it to be punished.
I am afraid this means us.
Then there would be a satisfying moral to the story:
The moral of this particular story would be:
1. Do not start wars lightly, unadvisedly or wantonly.
2. Certainly do not start wars like that that you cannot win.
3. An unexamined foreign policy is a foreign policy not worth implementing (Is it in the long-term national interest or just knee-jerk American Poodle-ism? Is it just so Blair and talk about "fighting shoulder to shoulder" with the world's most powerful but most unpopular nation? Is any of this worth the life of a single British grenadier? Is Israel?"
4. Do not go so mad with nannying dementia that you think you will get away with saying that you are only invading other countries so you can nanny them into being better more PC-liberal nations, ie doing things your way.

This would be laughable if it were not so tragic. Why don't we ask these Afghans if they want to be "mentored" by a civilisation in the terminal stages of dementia?
Why would they want be "mentored" by a country governed by fools and knaves who invade other countries telling them that it is for their own good?
Not content with having a nanny state we invade other countries to nanny them? Incredible, but true.
What are British soldiers dying for now? Zionism? America's foreign policy of unquestioningly supporting Israel? Now British soldiers are dying for Afghans who hate them, want them out of their country and want to kill them.
Does this country have a Jesus complex?
Are British soldiers to die for all the world to save it from its sins?
It is immoral, indefensible and incoherent.
If I were a soldier I would mutiny than die for the knaves and fools who sent me there to die for nothing.
