VERSION|0.5.1|NAME|Matt Westwood|DATE|1369816134|CONTENT|Isaiah *was* basically correct when it comes to Europe. We members of the EEC can smugly declare that we haven&#039;t had a war for almost 70 years. Except for those reprobates in the Balkans, but then they&#039;ve only just joined.

Hmm ... isn&#039;t it odd that the nations that have been least blighted by wars in recent years are those which are most liberally secular? Even the little unnecessary imbroglio in which we got involved in some 10 years ago was brought about by the fact that the two main aggressors (UK and US) were controlled at the time by nasty little religious busybodies.

As for Afghanistan, we never did have any business going in there. (Sorry, but fighting over control of the world&#039;s poppy-fields is *not* a good excuse for going to war.)|EMAIL|prime.mover@proofwiki.org|IP-ADDRESS|81.142.211.61|MODERATIONFLAG|
