How about staying at home and minding our own business!
We are a small bankrupt island off Europe, not the worlds policeman. Not even a community policeman or traffic Womble. Accepting it and moving on will probably defeat the root causes of terrorism a load more than the recruitment campaign for nutters that is Afghanistan/Iraq.
Hit - Nail - Head
To cut a long story short, the US & A were attacked because they've basically been resource driven global arseholes.
It's as if this country feels they owe the US & A a debt from WW2, but people forget they only joined the war effort 2 years down the line and after they were themselves attacked. The UK has only recently in the past few years paid back the war debt to our great 'special' friend.
Bollocks to the spams, let them sort out their own latest self inflicted mess, as I'm sure in the future there will be more.
No UK soldier's life is worth anything in Iraq, Afghan and certainly not a country full of war mongering to$$ers in the US & A, they're all ****holes.
Just my 2p worth.
