Nato woos Russia on Afghanistan

Irony, irony, irony. This life is full of it but it is more fun to see it in major events. Twenty years after the Soviet Union pulled out of Afghanistan Nato wants to involve Russia in its own doomed campaign there.

Why would it, you might ask. After all, it seems quite successful: helping triple Afganistan opium production is no mean feat. Here in London it has reportedly brought the street price of cocaine low enough for everyone to weather out the economy collapse in the best jolly mood.
