After watching the Dispatches programme on Channel 4 last night I wonder how they can sleep at night after what their forces are doing to their own people ?
Science flies people to the moon. Religion flies people into buildings.
I think it is this country's duty to stop them all, and so every man woman and child must be immediately conscripted, and sent into battle without delay. We would have zero unemployment, the arms industry would boom, and we could also ensure that, once we had sorted the buggers out, all them bloody forriners should speak English.

Surely in situations like this, arranging accidents for the people in power would be the quickest option? Why go through an invasion when you can just assassinate key people to bring about the changes you want?

How about what you would suggest?
You want to bomb more people? You want to invade, perhaps?
Big, macho things to do.
Where next? Anywhere else with nasty leaders who do nasty things?
The interfering of nations in the internal politics of other sovereign states has frequently worsened such situations in the past – see Iran as but one example – why would it be any different this time?
And see FA's post.
On top of that, consider this: in this age of austerity, what additional services would you cut to fund those bombs or invasions? Even less care for the elderly than now, perhaps? After all, they'll die soon anyway.

I didn't give my opinion on what I would do, just interested to hear what you think should be done? You didn't aswer it directly, but I assume (please correct me if I've assumed incorrectly) that the comment about interfering in other nations politics, would mean you' don't think anything should be done?
