Why the hell can't they live on the planet like every other religeon and race? Or is it the 'Hitler tried to kill us, so now we can't trust anyone' thing?There are plenty of sources of oil all over the globe, and if a bunch of arabs want to fight over a piece of turf in the middle east that the israelis now claim was given to them by God, then who the hell are we to get in on the act? Again, why is it anything to do with the UK or America what or who fights over what piece of land in the middle east. And let's face it, the Israelis have no more claim to that piece of land than say the Egyptians, Syrians, Iraqis, or Italians for that matter. This 'it was promised to us by God' is a heap of bullcrap. That stretch of land has been fought over for millenia, and no one population has any more claim to it than any other. If it weren't for 'western' involvement, there would be stability in the middle east, and 'israel' would be part of some other country.Yet again, we see the meddling of the US and UK in the matters of other countries, and we do nothing but fuck them up. After we bleed them dry that is.As for Milf's question (Sorry TheMilford, that one's gonna stick ), the reason the US are in Afganistan and Iraq is because they are training and expanding their military. How better to develop weaponry and train soldiers to kill locals than to have an actual conflict. That's what Vietnam was all about, and that's what Afganistan is all about. It's keeping people in jobs. People need to manufacture clothing and equipment, people are needed to train the kids to go and do the dirty thing, and more kids are need to replace the dead ones. So it's all good. It keeps the economy ticking over and people earn big bucks out of war. Obviously not the schmucks with the guns, but then if they were intelligent, they'd not be there in the first place. It's a natural selection thing.

In fact as a motive it's a no-brainer. What gets me is idiots trying to cast the oppo as evil. As if we're involved in some sort of Hollywood sci-fi flick. Are the Iraqis evil - of course not. Is it in our politic0-military interest to invade. Maybe so. OK then. Just don't sell me the NS.,do they think we're stupid?
