United Nato necessary in Afghanistan

The hundredth British soldier has died in Afghanistan. Former British Foreign Secretary Malcolm Rifkind reflects on the ongoing war in the country: "In broad terms, the American-led intervention in Afghanistan has succeeded in its primary purpose. Al-Qa'eda has been driven out of most of Afghanistan, its organisation has been decimated and its leaders driven to desolate frontier areas on the border with Pakistan. ... This must be the main test of the success or failure of Nato's efforts. ... A prime objective of British and American, as well as Afghan, policy must be to split the Taliban and encourage its more moderate and realistic elements to work for a political solution that would be acceptable to Afghans as a whole. ... The Taliban would be much more likely to split if they could see Nato unite. The French, the Germans and other European states must work with their American and British colleagues to agree a sharing of responsibility that removes the impression that their commitment is qualified and half-hearted."

What should the EU do about Iran ?

Malcolm Rifkind, Conservative MP and former Foreign Secretary and Secretary of State for Defence, regrets the lack of European will to put "real pressure on Iran that would hurt the regime without escalating the crisis and pushing the Iranians into a humiliating climb-down. … The members of the EU aspire to having a common foreign policy. What better issue could there be on which our French, German and Italian allies and partners could show solidarity with the UK and demonstrate the benefits of joint action? The best means of pressure would have been the export credit guarantees that are given to assist trade between Iran and western Europe. These, together with banking and other financial facilities are the soft underbelly of the Iranians and their withdrawal could do significant damage to Iran's already weak economy. … This lack of agreement [over economic pressure] shows how hollow are the aspirations to a common European foreign policy."
