Is the army being asked to do too much in Afgahnistan with too little?

As the number of British soldiers killed in Afghanistan mounts up, so does criticism of the Government.  Is the army being asked to do too much for too little? And while the public appears to understand the sacrifice, have the political classes been slow in catching up? David Cameron wants Disraeli's  'One Nation Conservatism' to go global?  But will his party approve of charity abroad when times are bad at home?  And what do the bankers think of the Pope pontificating on greed in the market place? Find out in Politics UK.
