The British government is trying to shore up the public faith in the Afghanistan war effort. The British public support for the effort is dropping after the death of eight British soldiers during operations over a 24 hour period.
The death toll on British forces has surpassed that of the Iraq war toll. The British death toll during the Afghanistan war has eclipsed the Iraq war total and now stands at 184.
There was little support for the Iraq war in England. Many viewed it as a mistake and regretted ever offering support and aid to America and George Bush in the efforts.
The violence and danger in the Afghanistan war are both elevated and higher than that of the Iraq war. With the British death toll already surpassing that of the Iraq war, many people in England are questioning the level of involvement that they and there countrymen should take in Obama's war.
We will look forward to our English correspondents take on the current level of British involvement in the Afghan war shortly.

The Afghanistan war is being supported in the United Kingdom, but it makes people nervous when the Military advisors are saying this war is going to be fought for the next 40 years. Parenets are thinking as they give birth to their children on this very day "will I see my son or daughter sent to warn and then our grandchildren". One thing is true Afghanistan is a breeding ground for terorist, but i think no more than that of other lawless contries that are poor and controled by exstream regiems, are we going to take them all on? I know one thing in the United Kingdom our troops are being supported by the public, I think they could do with more support from the goverment, some of the deaths have been preventable if the troops on the ground had the right equipment. We are fighting a foe that have been politicaly manipulated across decades. This is one problem of our own making.
