Afghanistan: When in Trouble, Call on Adolf Hitler

John Hutton, the British Defense Secretary, demonstrates a sensitive understanding of the complexities of the situation in Afghanistan. Just compare it to Germany in the 1930s:

We know that we must tackle the [terrorist] threat at source, it is not just going to go away. It is a struggle against fanatics that may not challenge our borders but challenges our way of life in the same way the Nazis did.



With statements like this, who can have doubts about a political and military strategy which, as Hutton notes, is "going to be years" in duration?
