  Sid, I am glad that Andy gave you a lecturing in history, as what you wrote to summarise a recent history of wars in Europe and elsewhere (you will no-doubt know that Egypt is not in Europe) was similar to other statements of yours in the past concerning history, namely quite incomprehensible!
  One could turn it all around and state that if Britain had not got involved in many recent wars (in the last few centuries) - independently of whoever participated in their respective triggering off - then Britain would have not lost so many soldiers. But this too would be a futile discussion, as we can't change history. But what you wrote goes beyond all comprehension! And it's contradictory! To give an example, Britain participated in the two World Wars precisely because of an interest in European situations, demonstrating the exact opposite of isolationism! In fact in both Wars, no country had threatened direct British interests, and London declared war in both cases so as to defend European countries. What ARE you trying to get on at, Sid, I just cannot understand what goes on in your presenting of history!
