"In an Unwinnable and Deeply Unpopular War"

Why are we fighting in Afghanistan? What have we done since we got there, have we made any progress, from where we started; if we have even started? Is the war in Afghanistan really 'unwinnable and deeply unpopular', as Sir Peter Tapsell suggests. Furthermore is a war supposed to be popular... if so what makes it popular? When was the last 'popular war'? Or have I completely missed the meaning of popular in this context?
