Really, I think history tells us just the opposite in respect to this type of conflict. When countries get dragged into these conflicts, it's usually for the long haul and all the knock-on bad effects that go with it. The zone affected normally become far less stable and causes an international headache. Dictators despite their evils, do keep a certain amount of stability within the zone. Personally I'm happy that for once the UK is not getting involved in something, that has nothing to do with them.
