What ****ing planet do these ***** live on? 😡
That's the traditional approach. War is a bit pointless any other way.
Having rules is what makes war acceptable and commonplace.
If the winning side exterminated the entire population of the losing side and annexed their land it would all be a lot less frequent and a lot less complicated.
Yep. Being all civilised about war has really defeated the purpose of it. You have to wonder why anyone bothers.
You don't hear of Pictish suicide bombers or the Pictish Liberation Front demanding equal rights and reparation for land loss.
The Scots went in and killed every last man jack of them. Problem solved.
Genocide. You know it makes sense.
FTFYThe Scots went in and killed every last man jock of them
See what I mean ?
Now, technically, using the J word is racism and, depending on the circumstances, you could potentially be banned, sacked or arrested for that.
You can say what you like about the Picts though. Nobody cares. They're all dead.
Genuinely LOL @ j_me - quality!
As a Scottish native I can use the J word freely, however I reserve the right to be utterly outraged if called a Jock from anyone South of the border.

You could be entering dodgy ground here. 😉
I'm fairly sure that the American oil barons who were involved in the US administration which planned and executed the invasion of Iraq, were not motivated by charitable benevolence.
The purpose of the invasion was to gain huge financial reward, so whilst the cost might well have far exceeded their expectations, Iraq has been paying back for some time now :

Quote :
[i]"A group of American advisers led by a small State Department team played an integral part in drawing up contracts between the Iraqi government and five major Western oil companies to develop some of the largest fields in Iraq
In their role as advisers to the Iraqi Oil Ministry, American government lawyers and private-sector consultants provided template contracts and detailed suggestions on drafting the contracts, advisers and a senior State Department official said.
At a time of spiraling oil prices, the no-bid contracts, in a country with some of the world’s largest untapped fields and potential for vast profits, are a rare prize to the industry. The contracts are expected to be awarded Monday to Exxon Mobil, Shell, BP, Total and Chevron, as well as to several smaller oil companies."[/i]
