"and we just don't care."
That's the problem Keith - some of us do care and we want this to stop, so don't come your crocodile tears with us again - it was disgusting enough last time.
British soldiers died in Iraq and are now dying in Afghanistan.
Adventures like this are going to make matters worse.
The only hope we have is by winning some hearts and minds in the Arab world; not going to happen by dropping bombs on civilians, invading sovereign states and putting civilian lives at risk, or by training crack troops and sending them back to Pearl Square to slaughter demonstrators demanding reforms.
Bin Laden could have been taken with the co-operation of the Pakistani Government (if a crack Seal team couldn't manage to overcome him and his four male companions perhaps they should have a closer look at their training methods), tried and sentenced in full public view to the satisfaction of all rather than being shot full in the face while fleeing (never managed to work that one out - was he running backwards?).
Once again - you and your funny friend (who appears to have disappeared - maybe to get a book on chemical weapons out of the library) are the only ones here supporting terrorist behaviour.
Don't suppose we're going to get a retraction of your inane descripion of phosphorus bombs, are we, or of your mate's crass downgrading of napalm and Agent Orange?
Tought not.
