The only war we should ever contepmlate is from an aggressor against us, or, should the Argies spit the dummy out in the South Atlantic again.
After all, the campaigns in which we have "helped", we have ended humiliated in so many ways.
Our troops killed in vain. Innocent civilians killed. Friendly fire incidents where we manage to kill people on the same side as us. The list goes on.
I don't see much in the news about Libyan people being grateful for our sacrifices in helping them, for example.
We have got to realise that after many years of defence cuts (which I'm sure will continue) that we do not have the capability anymore to wade in to conflicts just for the sake of keeping chummy with the Yanks.
Surely, some of the savings in the defence cuts, could be diverted into developing Hydrogen as a fuel to run Cars, Lorries,etc, and therefore eradicate the need to get involved in any country that has got Oil as its major resource.
The only thing that a car emits run on hydrogen is water. Hey presto more hydrogen!
Surely we have the boffins to do this. The technology is there. Mass produce it to bring down the costs etc.
sorry gone off topic a bit, but you get my point. No further squabbles or pretentious wars simply because a country in turmoil has Oil!
We've all got Hydrogen FFS!!
