The Sun Sets on Afghanistan

I hate the Sun, for obvious reasons, but new editor Dominic Mohan’s editorial, ’Don’t You Know There’s a Bloody War On’ is worth a read.

On the surface it’s the usual anti-Brown, pro-troops fluff, blaming the forces’ lack of success in Afghanistan on underfunding. But under the surface, it looks awfully like a preamble to the unthinkable: the Sun taking an explicit anti-war stance.
