Different times Keith.Go back centuries everyone was fighting for dominance that's how it was. we have moved on now and become a truly modern caring nation.
ISIS is a disgusting evil organisation killing anyone who gets in their way.
Hundreds of years ago it would have been accepted no doubt but with today's technology and full insight into the news and how modern nations govern there is no excuse for such barbarity.
It was never accepted by those being abused, enslaved and murdered. It all depends which side of the fence you are on. Most of the countries in the Commonwealth would have looked upon Britain as we do ISIS today. The Philippines is only Catholic due to the Spanish convert or die policy.
As for a caring nation, we left the Palestinians to defend themselves after WWII, and have done a similar thing with Iraq and Libya after interfering, as well as standing back and watching while Assad murdered his people.

Lessons learnt then. I'm talking about modern times we are a caring nation to the most.We cannot interfere with anymore countries in my opinion.Thanks to Blair being up Bush's .... it's created a much more dangerous place.So we left Assad to do as he wishes,would should we do if Putin kicked off further with Ukraine?
I think we should leave well alone now and let them all get on with it,not our fight and when we do try to help against dictators we seem to come off worse.
Without a doubt we should have left Saddam in power.
Thanks to Cameron going into Libya and then leaving them to it, and ignoring the plight in Syria, he has made the immigrant and terrorists problems worse. Lessons learnt.... where?

The lessons are leave these .... hole countries to sort out their own people.
I'm with you on that Ded
Even in our modern world some countries need dictators
Yes if it keeps them in check-some nations are just war-like always will be it seems.Originally Posted by Michael Parnham
They are all examples of colonization. It could not be simpler. The benefits for the coloniser, whoever they are, far outweigh the colonised, whatever point in time it is.

I used to pick up an Indian lady who felt proud of her British/Indian heritage.She says we turned India into a proper thriving democracy and thinks it was good for india in the long run
We benefited from the romans invading us,still amazing to think the A1 motorway was built by the Romans
Tens of thousands of Indians where enslaved and abused though, only those higher up the social ladder benefited, and that still happens to this day thanks to our influence.
