Perhaps we should leave the Americans to fight their own wars in future instead of expending British lives and money fighting their wars?
Britain was fighting successful counter-insurgency campaigns in Yemen and Malaya whilst the US was losing in Vietnam. Maybe the British do know what they’re talking about when it comes to this sort of thing hmm?

Its our war? I seems to recall that people from a bunch of countries were in the towers. There have also been bombings in London haven’t there?

The British used to but by all appearances those Brits have left the country without turning off the lights. Hopefully not all of em but enough they are allowing incremental steps towards sharia law.
