You know that a nation hates you when what you said to our Prime Minister, even though he may not have the support of everyone (but probably does now for this matter at least), gets plastered on our national newspaper sites. So just in case you can’t hear us, I think this is what most Brits are feeling towards you right now:

Fuck You Sarkozy

Given that our banks have had to bail out err, well nearly everyone, and we got screwed over just as badly if not worse than you, forgive us if we think we can offer a bit of financial advice to you. Don’t get caught up in your german love affair, we know how well that turned out the last time – rappelez-vous de Vichy?

… not hang up a phone call at a public phonebooth, but just let the phone go?

At least, that’s what the movies portray. So the question remains, why? Why not hang the phone up? Their fingerprints would already be on it, assuming they’re not wearing gloves, so what’s the big deal about hanging the phone up?

The phrase ‘in it to win it’, only really applies to lotteries. Not to wars.

So I ask the question, if you (we) don’t know how to win it, and really honestly don’t know what we’re doing it for now (since Osama is dead), why the hell are we there?

Surely we’re not there to actually turn Afghanistan into an outpost of ‘the West’, are we? What’s there? Unruly tribes who take every opportunity to kill each other, neverendingly? The emeralds (and there’s lots, apparently)? Some other resource we desperately need (err, no)?

Come on governments, get our boys out of there. We don’t need to be wasting yet more money in a conflict no-one wants to fight and certainly no-one is going to win. The moment we leave there’ll be a civil war, the Taliban will come roaring back and the country will be at square one again.

What makes it even worse, at least in my eyes, is that we’re propping up a despot who can’t protect his own family let alone his own people. And all of Karzai’s posturing around with that silly multi-coloured rug on his back just makes me retch, the man thinks he’s annointed by God or something.
