Britain 'must see war through'
Updated on 11 November 2008
The security of Afghanistan remains a "vital national interest" and Britain must see the war there through to a successful conclusion, Defence Secretary John Hutton has said
Speaking on the day when the dead of the First and Second World Wars are commemorated in Remembrance Day events across the country, Mr Hutton compared the 9/11 terror attacks which triggered the Afghan war to the invasion of Belgium in 1914 and Poland in 1939.
Just as in the two World Wars, events far away from Britain's shores have a direct impact on the security of its people, he argued.
