British defence secretary Liam Fox has indicated that the country's new government is reconsidering its approach to the war in Afghanistan. He is currently on a visit to Kabul, but before he left London, Mr Fox revealed the potential change of policy. In remarks in a newspaper interview, Mr Fox said Britain should focus less on state-building in Afghanistan and more on speeding up the withdrawal of its troops. Mr Fox described Afghanistan as a broken 13th century country.
