Background (Preamble):
During the election campaign many politicians are trying to avoid the issue of the war in Afghanistan.
This is because despite the massive popular opposition the the war, all three main parties support it.
We believe the war should be a central issue in the election campaign. British soldier deaths and expenditure are spiralling upwards just at a time when
all parties are calling for massive cuts in public spending. The projected costs of the war this year are almost the same as the amount the government plan to cut from the NHS.
Meanwhile the war is creating misery and destruction for the people of Afghanistan.
This is because despite the massive popular opposition the the war, all three main parties support it.
