Sweden close to collapse - UK next?

You miss the point RS, regardless of what Saddam was doing, WHAT HAS IT GOT T DO WITH US?

There are over 200 advanced countries out there, where was Russia, Germany, Italy, Holland, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Poland, China, the Baltic states, the Eastern European states ( much closer than us) North African countries, India, Pakistan, Burma, Malaya, Philippines, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Peru, Australia, NZ, Japan, etc etc ALL OF WHOM USE IRAQI OIL.

We are not the world police force, we are a bankrupt, failed third world socialist failed state.

Yugoslavia, where was Hungary, Czech republic, Romania, France, Germany, Holland, Ukraine, Italy, Greece, Portugal ??? Again it had NOTHING TO DO WITH US.


""@NR - Sadaam became a threat when he used Gas on both the marsh arabs and the people in the north. It became genocide and under international conventions, no further consultation is necessary. The reason that local mid-eastern states didnt get involved was that they were scared of Sadaam. Remember that Sadaam had just finished a war with Iran. AQ Reps were already there in Baghdad and you dont get into Iraq at that level without Sadaam knowing about it.""

The war may have been legit , so why are we not invading China or Zimbabwe, or North Korea, or Sudan all of whom are carrying genocidal attacks on its citizens, Oh wait there is no oil in those locations. We cannot ever justify invading ONE country using genocidal behaviour unless we deal with every dictator, we invade IRAQ but not Syria, Saudi Arabia or Iran all whose human rights abuses are legend..

The fact remains we only went in for PROFIT not humanitarian reasons, AND none of those places have anything to do with us.

Net end result of US / UK interference in Iraq and Libya = Terrorism, failed states, collapsed failed states, kass migration and more people are dying NOW than were killed by Saddam.

Another point I picked up on decades ago, " Those shouting for war/ invasion / intervention the loudest are usually those who are the very last to pick up a rifle themselves"..

No one should demand a country starts a war unless THEY are willing to lead from the front personally.
