Afghanistan,

Afghanistan,
Obama has been in post for .c40 weeks and quite few Americans on this forum voiced their support for him during last year’s election. It’s a bit too soon IMHO to judge his performance, but his health proposals seem to be emerging along the lines he pledged, so “fingers crossed” for his supporters…….
President Obama is considering sending a further 40,000 troops to Afghanistan, but he wants other members of NATO to contribute 4,000 of these. Can his supporters, (or opponents) outline :-
Why is the UN in Afghanistan, why NATO, why the USA?
Why should the UK and other NATO countries support the UN/NATO/USA in this campaign?
Is another 40,000 troops sufficient to achieve the objectives of the UN/NATO/USA/all the other contributors?
Cheers
Don
