I shall be headed up to bed soon, but thought i'd drop this one down now. Just wondering how you think the West should act with regards to internal strife in other countries. Obviously a lot disagree with the Iraq, Afganistan invasion etc but do you really think we should just let countries run themselves, no matter what? I can't believe the lack of news coverage there is about Sudan. It's a disgrace that not much is being done. I'll post more tomorrow.

It also doesn't have to be restricted to the west, should all countries just stick to themselves, what role should the UN actually play?

Well considering the Crusades, what the Romans did, how the Wild West was won (as such), The Empire of Great Britain, Empires in the East with many many factions taking over some poor country at some stage etc.. I think it's all just part of the fabric of life and history.
