THIS was a defeat 20 years in the making. The invasion and occupation of Afghanistan was never going to succeed in its stated aims of eradicating the threat of terrorism and building a peaceful and prosperous society.
Instead, as the nascent Stop the War movement argued at the time, the war would make the threat of terrorism worse. It would not improve the lives of millions of Afghans. It would be seen as an imperialist adventure and would be opposed by large numbers of the population.
