The UK in its terrible past was then an empire where as empirical people think whatever comes to pass is good for the empire, perhaps no other thought was spared. But of that empire, it is interesting to note, it was a management of the empires resources, that pillaged from other countries to make the extreme few in Britain the wealthier.
Perhaps similar things are happening with America, except the world has largely woken up to the designs of a foreign nation, for advanced communication has taught many what to watch out for, friendly help perhaps leading to a grab at other interests.
With Iraq there was oil and the quelling of an allies nearest source of threat, with Afghanistan, well reports of massive mineral reserves plus whatever else, perhaps even the opium trade. Countries now do not go to war for ideals, the costs involved have to be recouped, so what is it that corporate America wants so bad that it is worth the very well noticed and politically damaging blood of it's countrymen and vast sums of monetary wealth that may or may not have had some influence on the home lands financial situation ?
To hunt down and kill one man, namely Osama Bin Laden, I think not, for it is interesting, we have not heard anything more about this persons health in recent months, let alone his subtedly changing appearances, it is as if he never existed., but mark my words, as soon as common America starts to think different, yet another vague video will come via Al Jazeera spouting defience towards the west. And of course you will surely have noticed, the objectives in Afghanistan change with regularity, my guess is no one really knows why they are there spilling precious blood in an otherwise unheard of country with objectives changing a with a frequency almost in tune with the weather.
A known principle of getting what you want elsewhere, try the friendly approach first and if that does not work, make the people an enemy and there the justifiation to go to war.
