Some parts of Afghanistan may become more open. When I say open, I mean schools and working women etc. The rest of the country will remain the same. May be marginally better that means little to the world.\n\nNo other country would be in a position to rule it as the Russians did or the Pakistanis wished to do...\n\nThere is a saying that there are three no nos in the world\n\n1. Enemity with Afghans\n2. Drinking the water of Yamuna \n3. Trusting in people of Kashmiri... , but it is just a saying...

From one who was there, and lost all his men, and lived to tell, you are very welcome. I was in Afghanistan in 2002. 19 yrs old. We had and are still having a hell of a time over there. We(the armed forces) need all the support we can get. On another note though, If I had the choice to go and fight knowing what would happen all over again, I would go in a heart beat. No thanks necceccary. We are just doing our job. (Semper Fi!)

Militarily or economically or both?\n\n25 years from now:\n\nMilitarily: \n\n1 China \n2 US \n3 Europe (collectively and including UK. It is possible Europe will be some form of federation by then anyway).\n4 India \n5 Pakistan (possibly in a collective with the other 'Stans', such as Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan and Iran). This 'Stan' axis will also be closely linked with the Islamic States of the Middle East and Asia.. The rest of the World's nations will be also-rans.\n\nEconomically: \n\n1 China \n2 Europe (including UK) \n3 USA \n4 India \n5 Australia.\n\nIn practice, the economic power is the World's superpower. Trade wins friends and influences people rather more effectively than bullets and bluster (Bush take note).\n\nSo China will rule and Europe will be #2. The US won't be taking this lying down and will be using all its brilliant business skills to fight back. But it will be a losing battle. \n\nAmericans have only themselves to blame for this. Their unshakeable belief in their superiority has blinded them to a World changing before their eyes which, with every day, is less in awe of Uncle Sam.

There is good article on the BBC website that gives two views on the future in Iraq.\n\nIt summarises both sides of the argument.

Well the Issue in Afghanistan is Islam. Islam is an intolerant religion with intolerant hateful followers. Their way or no way.

Uzbekistan is useful for the war in Afghanistan , as soon as the situation changes that country will be abandoned or subverted.

Absolutely, Peace and Democracy will happen in Iraq. I have a source you can look at to see the progress and great things that happen in Iraq that the mainstream media doesn’t tell you about.

Afghanistan?  Iraq?  That'd do it.  I'd be scared living out that way.\n\nAs a matter of fact, any war-torn country would just about do it.

Good question.\n\nThe timing certainly seems to fit what we have become accustomed to, politically calculated.\n\nAs has been said above, I doubt that it will make any difference on its own. I am surprised that there has not (yet) been a major event, and I hope it stays that way. That would be so obvious that it might launch civil strife elsewhere than in Iraq and Afghanistan.

What a load of old nonsense. The British Army is one of the smallest in the world and they consistently perform magnificently.\n\nYou are correct, we are not gung ho but that doesnt have much to do with being very very good.\n\nThe province you refer to is Helmand not Kelmand, and it is very dangerous but our guys will be up to the job don't you worry.\n\nAs for being beaten 100 years ago by the Afghans I don't really see how that is relevant as I don't belive that we are going to send any 100 year old soldiers over there.\n\nAnd by the way, when the Taleban revolted in that prison in Mazar Al Sarif and took the CIA guys hostage it was 6 British SBS special forces soldiers who led the force which defeated over 600 of them.\n\nWe kicked ass in the Falklands, Malaya, Borneo, Oman, Kosovo, Gulf War one (where most of our casualties came as a result of friendly fire from the U.S air force), Sierra Leone etc etc and with the exception of the gulf wars we did it alone and outgunned.

Nothing, the extremist wing will continue its work until the next Parlement Election (Next year) when people will select the other party and then Government will  become weaker and 3 years later they will select a president from the more peaceful party.\nThey will learn to appriciate those who have done good jobs for them like their former president Khatami.\nPersians are the most Unrespectful people on earth, that guy did great job for them and they only fussed at him.\nThey also have a soccer player who has scored for them most in their history and they only curse him.\nThey need punishment.

Predicting the future is tough for mere mortals.  I'm going to guess that there will be a 3rd world war and that it will be quick and world ending.  Jury is still out on the whens and hows.
