Although the middle east pet project has been bubbling away for years (I wonder which country is next for a shake down?) with many protagonists having a dabble directly and tacitly, some good old fashioned east west tug-of-war.
Recent repercussions were enough for Britain to go a bit cold as Americas right hand man in the middle east, certainly less bullish and bold! France now suffering the same fate as we did for being the obvious sidekick.
Given Europe’s geographical disadvantage and (I’ll be polite) porous turn a blind eye border countries, not to mention the ease of travel from one European country to another. Will we bear the brunt of the majority of terrorist actions resulting from long standing middle east strategic/oil conflicts?
