We save what we can without putting so many more lives on the line.
Tell that to the families of 1 million dead Iraqi people.

Iraq clearly had nothing to do with saving the people of Iraq, WMD nor toppling a dictatorship.
If we waged war on China or Russia then many lives would be lost on both sides (UK armed forces would be annhilated). So why would we even consider it?
Would you attempt something impossible regardless of the cost?
would like to think so as typhoon apparently fared very well against india's SU-30's in the bidding for india's fighter contract.
what so if we dont rescue people in a country we cant help, we shouldnt rescue people in a country we can help?
what kind of messed up thinking is that? its pretty sick really. in response to your question, i do think its a shame that they wont be helped but thats the situation we have. if you want to fantasise about ideal situations
could I add "fund the military a lot more so we can take care of the commitments our lovely voters want us to engage in"? i take it you will be happy with the corresponding increase in tax? because i dont think we could take on another conflict even if we wanted to.

I am not the one choosing who to save, what about the people of Syria, Saudi and Bahrain?

Agreed.
killed mostly by other Iraqi people....
Incapable of doing it all I guess?
Common sense?
So we should declare war on china, russia and America and all be happy knowing that the atomic inferno we die in wasn't shallow.

No doubt, but I'm talking morality not so much we should do it right now, I know we can't. Does that make our judgement calls automatically correct?
No, because it isn't worth that. But, your not that far away from my line of thinking but then you have another problem at that point, the air of superiority with project with our life and governance 'choices'.
reality of capabilities.
oh so you dont want us to engage in every nation with problems in the world?
er no, we are not talking in a fantasy land of hope. we are talking about the situation right now. the only morality is the morality applicable to helping who we can and the situation as it is now.
maybe your just projecting under your own perceived inferiority as your opinion is based on wishes and not whats happening?

Drop the pendancy, the statement is more than obvious in its intent given the context.
So blame the Iraqi people who killed them.
Are you suggesting that an illegal invasion played no part?
I think we blew the lid off a big tin there, don't you?
ability to do it. if you want to up our ability, fund the people that do it.
quite, but since your arguing two idealistic views that contradict each other. im just trying to point out your contributions are worthless unless you base them on the reality of the situation being discussed so that they have any sort of relevancy.
