    God damn confusing me with facts....

    but the only reason this happens is because these countries are run by corrupt dictators who can be destabalised..

    hmmmm

    so maybe a re-think on the 'Bomb them back to the Stone Ages policy' you reckon?

        A bit like the west supported Osama and the Taliban, that worked out well?
