British soldiers in Afghanistan
THE dreadful recent bombing of the diplomatic area of Kabul, Afghanistan, where over 80 people died is a terrible tragedy equivalent to four Manchester atrocities.
It shows us once again the mess we have left that beleaguered country in.
They say violence begets violence and one only has to look at the Middle East and Afghanistan to see that the old saying is 100 per cent accurate.
