VERSION|0.5.1|NAME|tim555|DATE|1369817834|CONTENT|I often wonder why UK governments are so keen to get involved in warfare even in countries far away and in disputes that seem to have little to do with us here on this island. The notion that the Afghanistan business is making life safer in Britain is laughable but the main political parties all appear to parrot the idea. Basically I agree with Mr Bell that pouring more arms into a conflict is not going to lessen bloodshed when the two sides are fanatical. At least Harold Wilson kept us out of Vietnam. If Blair had been the PM at that time I suspect we would have jumped in there as well and more British service men and women would have died for no good reason.|IP-ADDRESS|92.17.85.130|MODERATIONFLAG|
