Even the US has seen how fruitless it is to intervene in these backward countries who mix famine and mass slaughtering into the same pot. A third way is required that doesn't involve sending in heavy weaponry that kills part of the virus but the disease becomes more virulent. Maybe for all we know the food aid just allows these militants to grow up and survive.
I have what on the face of it, is going to sound like a pretty dumb question, but At the point when the army withdraws from Afghanistan, and end all engagements in the Middle East...what peace-keeping initiative should they engage in???
Obviously, we can't simply dismantle our forces - so what should they do (assuming that there is pressure from within to prevent them from engaging in any foreign conflicts in which our interests aren't directly affected)?
Serious question.

SP maybe they could be employed in internal duties. The Northern Ireland problem won't go away and many NI police were injured in recent riots. Then there is the no go areas in our big cities which the police seem unable to control. They could be an attachment to our Border Force which is undermanned and allows many immigrants to enter the country illegally. Or they could do civil duties to cope with disasters like the flooding recently. We see what could be done when they built a bridge in Cockermouth after heavy flooding which knocked out the bridges.

Funnily enough, I was thinking of Northern Ireland as I wrote my question, but then rejected it thinking of the message it would send out. Some would see it as a return of an 'occupying force'. I wonder whether that could unravel what's been achieved over the past 20 years.
And whilst I agree with you that manpower would be of great benefit when the country is undergoing a seemingly increasing number of natural disasters - I don't think a permanent deployment of troops in case of flooding etc would make financial sense...because we don't really have that many yet.
Armed border controls? I think out of all if your suggestions, that one would have the most support across the country, simply because, in conflict areas, the army is already trained in civilian movement control.
AOG - how does that sound?
