I disagree pretty much fully with your previous ms, I think you are confusing motives and actions. It's natural to be highly motivated to secure stable energy supplies. It would be horrific if the USA and UK were really doing what you allege. For one thing, it's very cynical, for another thing, they'd be doing such an awful hack of it. the US hasn't even secured payment from Iraq, via oil or any other means for the incredible expenditures of the Iraq war. Afghanistan and Pakistan are not ready sources of oil, and your argument of their proximity to oil doesn't really wash, in my opinion, the depth of our involvement.
Unless you are alleging that Usama Bin Laden and his Al Qaeda organization are CIA/MI6 constructs, we have Usama on numerous recordings taking full credit for 9/11.
Also, I am cynic enough to believe that if energy and oil were our main motivations, they'd throw over Israel in less than a heartbeat.
Having said that, the historical record shows plenty of assertive action on the part of both the USA and the UK to safeguard, promote their economic/ energy interests, one thing I think is an excellent example of this was overthrowing the legitimate elected government of Iran in the 50's. I was glad to read that we (the US) actually apologized for it.
Anyhow, I'm interested in the argument for Sharia law in the UK. Is it worth starting a new thread over it?
