UK PM Cameron's View of Afghanistan

On a recent trip to the United States the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom provided his insight on the Afghan War. He believes that there is a desire on the part of NATO to end the conflict in Afghanistan and an acceptance that Afghanistan will not have a "perfect democracy". He believes a suitable goal is an Afghanistan that can provide for its own security, that won't be a haven for terror, and that does not need the involvement of foreign troops. The UK currently has 9,500 troops in Afghanistan. Read a news articles on his comments about Afghanistan in "Cameron Says Afghans Won't Have Perfect Democracy When NATO Goes", Bloomberg Business Week, March 13, 2012 and "Britain wants endgame in Afghanistan, says David Cameron", The Telegraph, March 14, 2012.
