Military intervention against terror doesnt work. Didnt work in N Ireland, didnt work in Morroco, isnt working in Israel.
Look at it this way. "We" (my govt is an enthusiastic particpant) have been bombing the **** out of Afghanistan for 12 months, a state marginally associated with Al Q by dent of the fact that members of that organisation were found to be there. Estimates of dead Afghans range between 5 and 20 thousand.
Sharron continues to use the 6th most powerful army in the world to flatten villages and fire US made air to ground missiles into apartment buildings to support illegal Israeli occupations. The images of eights year olds being gunned down by the IDF in Palestine are powerful.
On the table is a proposed action against Iraq, based on questionable links to terrorism and the WOMD and naming non conformance with UN resolutions (just like the ones Israel has ignored for 30 years) as the legal/moral justifcations for same.
One outcome of all of this is crystal clear. There will never be a shortage of fanatical martyrs.
