Didn't the US already surrender in that one?

No, they achieved a magnificent victory, by keeping well away.

Looks like Afghanistan is in for more of the same. Iraq's finally been let off the hook. Blackpool won't know what's hit it.

Still taking votes.

The Afghanistan / Iraq dichotomy seems to be settling down to the conventional liberal position on military intervention: Afghanistan good , Iraq baaaaaaaaad

Not too much interest in Pakistan so a few stray drones headed in their direction won't ruffle too many feathers. Libya's fate at the hands of the US war machine is surprisingly in the balance, with slightly more against shoving a few high explosives their way than in favour. Yemen is a definite no-no, although the latest assassination there was only a drone, so a bit like Pakistan it's not going to cause to much outrage. Iran doesn't have a lot of friends in the anti-bombing camp (just 4 here) so they'd better watch out, though Syria (who aren't developing a nuclear bomb yet) is still considered out of bounds for a military adventure. This leaves only Blackpool, who deserve everything they get.

Thank you for your interest. Unless there are any decisive changes I'll make this the final report.

Interesting, though, that the justification for taking action in Afghanistan is now in the balance. Just one vote could reverse the decision! Does anyone want to change their vote?
