Marines Launch Attack on Taliban. The British Army has done a fantastic job in Helmand considering the limitations foisted upon them by the Government, the MOD and the total lack of support from the European members of NATO who view Afghanistan as an Embassy Party.. Now that the USMC has arrived hopefully more can be done. Firepower and education will win this battle, not hearts and minds. The Afghan farmers need to be taught that wheat, barley and soya are right now the crops to be growing not opium. It is actually time for the Brits. US and Canadians who have done most of the work so far to hand Helmand over to the French and Germans for a month or so so they can get 'involved'. After all how much trouble can the get into!!!!

The Afghan farmers can probably make more money growing crops for bio fuel than growing opium at this rate!
Either way, the Taliban have to be killed off so that they don't profit from any crop.
Keep fighting the fight, Theo.
