It has been stated time and again that prevention of serious crimes against humanity/genocide is a legal reason for going to war.
But this was not the reason we were given, we were sold down the swanny with a pack of lies and so far well over 2300 soldiers, sailors and Airmen have died and god only knows how many have been injured (huge amounts i would guess), let alone the 10s or 100s of thousands of Iraqi civilians.
If we take the moral highground and invade because of crimes against humanity and genocide then why have we left the people of Zimbabwee to suffer so much. Answer, - it has got nothing we want. The country was once known as the bread basket of africa. The farms are now in ruins. Wait another 2 years for the largest famine and starvation that africa has ever witnessed. Yet we do nothing and Mugabe is
quite a nasty bloke engaged in some fairly nasty goings on
BEags - couldnt agree more!
