The British have two choices withdraw or be overrun. They can't withdraw so they
are now killing everyone who is a threat to prevent being defeated. They don't
want any people near their bases, civilian or not so they are destroying the
villages in the area.. There are 45 million people who want them out. The
British know they can't win, but Blair cannot withdraw without losing face.
The British know they must survive in Afghanistan until Blair is forced from
office.
