It seems to me from the news that various of the countires involved in the war in Afghanistan (US, UK, DK - maybe more) are debating withdrawal with their populations. Fine. Populations should have something to say, obviously.

What confuses me is that the war parties to not seem to talk to each other about withdrawal.

I am not in favour of that war for a number of reasons, but it seems to me that if a group of countries start it together, they should finish it together, rather than let it fall apart.

My apologies if this has been discussed on some thread, I did not find any but I might have overlooked it.
