Please read your history :rant: , Kenya (ethnic Kikuyu during the Mau Mau rebellion in the 50's), South Africa (we invented the concentration camp during the Boer war!!!!), Native American Indians (scalp bounties under Cornwallis), Ireland (Potato famine, genocide through inaction) to name but a few......
You don't end up ruling half the world by being nice!!!! We aren't the 'Saints' you seem to think we are, and don't forget, we didn't invade Iraq because Saddam was commiting Genocide, we invaded because Tony said that there was WMD that could be used within 40 minutes even though the UN weapons inspectors couldn't find them and lo and behold neither could we after we went to have a look for ourselves.
On top of this the ostensible reason this started was the war on terror, but lets ignore the bit where there was no proof that Iraq had any involvement in this either and by doing so we lost a huge amount of world support for something that may have made a difference :headvswal
So if your happy with risking our troops lives so Bush junior can finish what Bush senior failed to do, and destabilise an entire region, ignoring everything we learned when we tried this form of meddling in the 20's, and ignore the fact that when you get right down to it we caused all this with the original setting up of Iraq after finishing the Ottoman Empire in the 1st world war and the subsequent setting up of Israel and ignoring, and tacitly supporting, their years of attrocities against the Palestinians, then all power to you :nelson:
