It's the 10th anniversary of the invasion of Afghanistan today (...tomorrow or yesterday depending on yours and my timezone) and I don't pretend to understand if we've actually achieved anything worthwhile from it in those years. I'm not sure the streets of the Western world are safer and I'm not convinced that the Afghan people want democracy (oh, the delicious irony of forcing democracy on a nation). It seems appropriate then that I sign off tonight with a 3 track session from band of the moment, War On Drugs. I dedicate this to all those on all sides of the conflict who have died in the last decade.
