'Leaks won't stop the Afghan war'


This piece is basically worthless because it does not say how the goals of the war are to be achieved. This is why WikiLeaks is so important - not what is leaked but why. If these goals can not be achieved, then there is no point in the activities mentioned in the leaks and so the leaks make that very pointlessness clear. This is why Western governments cannot explain their military presence in the region - there are no positive results shown.
