Unless every single politician that is for having troops and drones in the Middle East signs up and their kids up to go over and fight they should have no say and no vote or decision. Unless they are all willing to
Do that they should be all pulling the troops out and end all their wars and interventions.

You get that they are piloted from a car park in Milton Keynes, right?

I have no idea what this biz in Iran is about but you have to admit yanks have some moves when it comes to hi tech killing. One minute you're cruising to McDonalds listening to Dolly and Kenny singing "islands in the stream" next minute you're hole is on your head in an inferno

Just been at lectures today (I know...at my age) and one was describing how the radicalisation of young Moslems and spread of hardline Madrassa schools was actively encouraged in the 80s by US Reagan administration. The youngsters were urged to go and fight jihad against the big bad enemy that had invaded Afghanistan.

Millions of texts were published for these schools in the US.

I have just Googled and there are lots of links to this including Washington Post

Never it went that far but I suppose no surprise!!!

From what I’ve read this is where you can trace the roots of the likes al qaeda and isis back to

They certainly are mate. however having personally been to the funerals of a more than a Couple of lads killed in Iraq and found myself standing next to families I’d like us to be sure it’s for completely the right reasons . I’d never seek to undermine the service or sacrifice of those that were killed or injured by dismissing the conflict or the reasons behind it but like I say I’d prefer any conflict to be entered into for the right reasons .

I accept for anybody sitting behind a desk watching a convoy pass through Wooton Bassett it probably does feel fairly easy to dismiss as the job they are paid to do , but different standing next to their crying bereaved families it feels a bit different and I say that as somebody who has no desire to see the military or military service fetished .

Totally agree, I just couldnt understand the point that politicians in favour of a war should physically be with the troops overseas

Thats absolutely ridiculous.

I find it incredible our PM has still said nothing on the issue and even more incredible that no one in the media has questioned his silence or whereabouts.

Well said, the arrogance and blaise attitude on here by johnson and trump supporters to this level of death and destruction is a real eye opener, if one was still needed

All the earliest known civilisations were in Iraq, all the old ruins that we could of learnt so much from about our origins have been wiped from the face of the earth by that shower of shites bombs, there's an American you tuber called Bright Insight who was a Marine who became sickened by what he was doing in the middle east, he turned his back on the army because of the boss places he was coming across and they were turning them into rubble, any sewer rat who supports what the Americans and the British have been doing across the middle can not be considered a human being.
