We need a C21st Marshall Plan for MENA. These problems are only going to get worse as oil loses value. The area also seems to be increasingly prone to drought as climate change takes effect.

how do you build infrastructure in a nation with no state and security?

Maybe the German method is the only hope. Let larger stable prosperous nations absorb a smaller nation. Certainly its it only quick solution that saves million. But of course we don't want a couple of decades of modest pain (immigration) to save possibly centuries of misery.

I wonder if you could go into a country and take a large chunk of territory. Set up a functioning government and security and laws and build some infrastructure and factories and let in a million people.

Let it grow by say 5% a year (eg take more of the outside population in) and within 80 years you have a nation of 50 million.

the power would then be with that government that group no need for a dozen factions to kill each other over and over.


a bit like Australia or america.....back in the day

You didn't read/understand my post. Think again on how a bit-part participant can write a comprehensive plan, and if you can answer that please explain.

That was a few hours after the vote after midnight. He tweeted his Labour card cut up, and a pic from the SNP website.

I doubt the SNP membership offices are on standby 24/7.

Oh and for those who want to discuss the airstrikes and the implications re Syria/war etc. With respect..Could you mabye start another thread to discuss the specifics/debate ? This one is veering off on a tangent a bit imo.

I thought Salmonds comments today would have been up here by now.

Could you MAYBE learn that this thread has been off topic for months and not bring it up just when it suits you? I await you playing a card.

I await a credible SNP alternative strategy.

Which card would you like ? Syrian airstrikes and indepth tactical debate in a thread about Scottish politics/Kevin Hague's economic graphs and English subsidies. Or the one where I just ignore you altogether after this post for sadly being a bit of a bore with nothing much to say on either ?

wotsthat

The English (Londoners mainly) subsidise the Scottish economy. Oh no they don't. Rinse. Repeat.

The off topic stuff has been much more interesting i.e. the SNP shamefully voting on war based entirely on their, by comparison, tiny little agenda.

I was talking of all the countries involved in bombing thrashing out a plan. Have they already? If so do you know what it is?

Are labour just as shameful or did they vote according to their belief based on the motion? Are the few tories who voted against shameful for not following orders?

Did you really expect the SNP to vote for conflict? If so you really know very little about their policies & values.
