In the run-up to the Iraq war, Halliburton was awarded a $7 billion contract for which 'unusually' only Halliburton was allowed to bid.

Perhaps I am naive but I thought that we were skint as a nation with massive debt. How can we afford to keep paying out for these invasions or bombing of other countries. I think Cameron has lost the plot.

and now we are skint on moral authority. Esp if He uses more chemical weapons. After all, we've given him a Green Light.

Cheers David.

There's no morality in international politics, at best there is spin an d manipulation of the media, which is the reason why caution about the source of the attack is wise, western intervention would theoretically benefit the rebels so its in their interest surely?

There's no concern about the constant wars ongoing in Africa and no suggestion of western intervention in Zimbabwe, drc, Somalia etc. because they aren't of geopolitical significance as the middle east is.

This is notwithstanding the effects of previous interventions, from Iraq to Afghanistan the consequences of international intervention have left the average e local worse off, if not dead.

I do not care about the spoils of war I was just pointing out that the American government do not have any respect for us as a nation as has been proven in the past. I care about victims on both sides but I feel the Arab nations should assist in sorting out this civil war.
