With the battle against Taliban forces intensifying, an international conference assembled in Kabul where the future of the embattled country was discussed.
It is touching to see that the Russian foreign minister remembers the original UN mandate authorizing military action in Afghanistan. No one in Europe cares what the original mandate said. Because now all Europeans(government ministers excepted) know what its should have said. "NATO is hereby authorized to undertake the most disastrous military adventure in in its history. The alliance is permitted by this resolution to waste tens of billions of Euro's and thousands of lives in an unwinnable conflict. Sorry no refunds." I do not like to point this out to the redoubtable mister Lavrov but no Western politician would bet a kopeck on Afghanistan ending its world wide narcotics trade in the next twenty years. The conflict is over as an operation that European governments can support and hope to stay in power. Their tax revenues are now required for other purposes.
