Personally I would prefer to see the money spent building schools, hospitals and roads in THIS country, rather than wasting the lives of our (extremely dedicated) armed forces on a war which was never ours and which will never be won. unless the USA radically changes its attitude to this, we here in the UK will forever be aligned with this "civilised nation" and its foreign policy, to the detriment of our troops and for what, quite frankly...? don’t think it matters how much we would be prepared to do in either of those countries - we will always be seen as infidels and foreigners, non-muslims who should at the very least NOT be in their country at all and at worst, dead at their feet.

For every one you torture, or mistreat there are a hundred new recruits who now have a 'valid' reason to fight... I don't know the answer but it seems to me that there are some fundementalists who will never change and they should be locked up, but there are hundreds of thousands of people willing to be swayed either way. Shouldn't we be building schools and hospitals and roads in Afganistan and Iraq and let the normal majority decide how to run their country knowing that we are genuine freinds/allies? Such a civilised nation. :mad:
