Yeah, the BNP are a bit more than right of centre

I'm like most people. Liberal on some shit, conservative on others. Probably fairly left-wing, although I voted for the leftylee option.

On Afghanistan, the problems with rising extremism have largely come about through the sheer short-sightedness exhibited by those in charge when they first went in. Rather than getting a united front, they simply paid off the main warlords onto their side, without thinking about the consequences down the road when they actually wanted to establish a Government. Plus Karzai is one corrupt motherfucker, basically a Tony Montana in charge of a city, funnelling out enormous amounts of heroin.

The war had justification & the Taleban had to go, they were about as loathsome a group as there's been on this planet, but the tactics employed by the Allies have turned a lot of people in favour of the Taleban, who previously couldn't stand the bastards.
