In the opening stages of the war in Afganhistan the United Kingdom symbolically fired the first shots. 50 Cruise missiles were fired from British ships at a cost to the U.K of £1,200,000 for each missile. Then add the cost of the ships, planes,manpower for the duration of that war. Now add the cost to the U.K for the war in Iraq. Now add the cost to America and the other Allied countries which was many times what U.K paid. Now add the cost to the Allies of keeping soldiers in Afghanistan and Iraq. Now think what this money could have been used for. All the poor countries of the world could have had their national debt wiped clean, starvation made a thing of the past, deseases cured and it could have even improved the relations between christian and muslim world and ultimatly end terrorism. In U.k alone they talking about not having enough money for pensions, not enough money for the national health. Is it not time that the world worked together to stop all wars.
