Is britain winning the war in afghanistan?
This question is difficult to answer because there are no explicit conditions of victory set by the US and its allies, including Britain, (henceforth "US") for the War in Afghanistan.If we argue that the goal was to expunge Al-Qaeda from Afghanistan, then the US has already succeeded; there are more Al-Qaeda agents in Germany than Afghanistan now.If we argue that the goal was to remove the Taliban from power in Afghanistan, then the US has already succeeded; the current government of Afghanistan is led by the former warlords of the various Afghan tribes and the leaders of the Northern Alliance (often the same persons).If we argue that the goal was the Westernization of Afghanistan, this will continue to be a failure. Nothing short of a Soviet-style occupation and colonization will change the Afghan mindset (even assuming such a thing is desirable).If we argue that the goal is to eliminate illegal drug production in Afghanistan, this has been a consistent and increasing failure; Afghanistan cultivates more poppy for heroin production than ever before.If we argue that the goal was to weaken the Taliban, this is more complicated. The US removed the Taliban from direct control over the country, but was otherwise unable to eradicate the organization and it is actually quite strong in the border region with Pakistan and on the Pakistani side of the border. If the US withdraws from Afghanistan, it is likely that the current Northern Alliance government will make a power-sharing agreement with the Taliban to prevent a massive and destructive civil war.
