God forbid-they would never stop talking about who does what & when & who pays for it, and where to intervene, and who to support & not support.

Look at the bickering within NATO about Afghanistan-why on earth would an EU force be any different?

The UN is the appropriate body for international military intervention-and how successful has that been?

If the occupation of Afghanistan is to stop terrorism on our streets wouldn’t you have thought that a few other western countries might also be interested? But they are not, so perhaps that line is just propaganda.

Perhaps we are in Afghanistan as we like to pretend we are a major player in world events and so keep dumping the army down wherever the USA asks us to put them.

(The real unexplored issue of British history is the issue of ‘managed decline’; we like to think we still have an empire -and so act like we do- but really we don’t and are running out of money as we try to run with the dream (see-Trident / aircraft carriers / inadequate body armour for the military).

The sooner there is an EU army the better (and who’s going to be the first to fall for that one ) as we can all share the load then.

That election is currently rigged to re-elect a corrupt President who presides over a narco-state .

The idea of democracy in that country is a very bad joke.

1. To fight terrorism.
2. To stop heroin arriving on our streets.

If we are serious about terrorism then why are we not in the border territories of Pakistan?

The last harvest of poppies produced a record crop – heroin is on the increase.

Very little, if any.
