How simple can you get? Because politicians - and the majority of public opinion - said they were not interested in confronting Nazi Germany which had done us no harm, although it had invaded a "country far away of which we know little" (Neville Chamberlain). They ultimately paid the price of ignoring Hitler and hoping he'd go away.

If history teaches us any lesson, it is that history teaches us nowt. If anyone seriously thinks here that the problems of the Middle East (Dictatorship & Islamic fanatisism) can be addressed by ignoring them and appeasing it's players, then you're in cloud cuckoo land.

"Why bother? You have spoken now.. Put everyone in there place and told them whats what.. While the rest of us where having a debate you wade in telling us how it is.. Not how you think it is or your opinion on anyhting.. just wade in shouting the odds."

I am in total agreement tealeaf, There may be an underlying factor concocted by the USA and UK, but at the end of the day, the more rebellious countries in the Middle East are becoming a REAL threat to the Western world. If it wasn't us that have intervened it would be the Chinese or one of the Arab countries themselves. If we hadn't stopped Saddam when he invaded Kuwait it was accepted by all that his next "conquest" would have been Saudi Arabia! Where would it have stopped?

One of the latest fads are the "conspiracy theories" Some may be true ...but many people now look for obscure reasons to reject ANYTHING said by government bodies and to come up with far-fetched ideas that are now being accepted as truth, one such example is whether the USA actually landed on the moon...but that should be another thread

Sarcasm has no place on this forum Kipax, you stated that you have a "simplistic" view which is what inspired Tealeaf to start his thread with the comment "How simple can you get?"

The idea of a forum is that each individual should be able to voice their opinion whether it is considered right or wrong.....

I PERSONALLY feel that I am right and you are wrong, but I am willing to listen to you!
