Proceeding contribution from Julian Lewis (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 10 September 2014. It occurred during Debate on Ukraine, Middle East, North Africa and Security.
Ukraine, Middle East, North Africa and Security
It was precisely for that reason that my hon. Friend and I made common cause against the folly of that intervention. On Afghanistan, does our
policy not tend to be too reactive to the last thing that happened? It was said that as soon as the Soviets left, the west left Afghanistan to stew in its own juices. It was to prevent that from happening again that the west made the bad mistake, as it turned out, of engaging in nation building.
