Squandering Taxpayers' Money on Futile Exercises

The British government is spending 3.3 billion pounds a year on military operations in Iraq, for the sake of supporting its big buddy across the pond in imposing western democracy to 'stabilise' the area and maintaining the continued flow of oil. Iraq poses no threat to Britain or the United States, and the public was deceived into believing that a threat existed when none was present. Leave Iraq to the Iraqis and bring the troops home. Others too have their right to exist without the interference of a foreign power.
