                <title>If we stay there will be trouble...</title>
                <description><![CDATA[I am currently taking a winter break from Kabul. I suppose its a way of shortening the harsh winter. Currently wallowing in 24 hour electricity (if that's possible). The break has allowed me to catch up with old friends and family. But the last few weeks has felt like some form of shuttle diplomacy as i try and convince all my nearest and dearest that Kabul is a safe place to live. Well relatively speaking. This has also put me in the firing line.&nbsp; Questions questions...&nbsp; "what's going on out there?",&nbsp; "are we winning?", "what's the answer?", "should we stay or should we go now?"<br /><br />The Great Game is as complex as ever. From <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ag8J2NMYmc">Ahmed Rashid</a> to <a href="http://www.independent.co.uk/opinion/commentators/fisk/robert-fisks-world-why-does-the-us-think-it-can-win-in-afghanistan-936185.html">Robert Fisk</a> to <a href="http://www.lyricsfreak.com/c/clash/should+i+stay+or+should+i+go_20031789.html">The Clash</a> no one really knows the answer. This one is set to run and run and adding another opinion to the debate, simply based on my geographical status seems kind of <a href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Opinions+are+like+assholes">pointless</a>.&nbsp; Hey but it's good fun at dinner parties. Holding a differing view at each consectutive gathring sure fine tunes your debating skils. Currently I am with Obama.&nbsp; I await your surge Mr President.<br /> ]]></description>
