I think its pretty straight forward. Is there oil involved, and if so would a future government look favourably on us ("we give you plenty cheap price") if we had been seen to have "helped " them into power under the auspices of a pro-democracy initiative.If the answer is yes then I reckon its gonna be sooner rather than later.As to whether we can afford it, I sometimes wonder what the cuts are really about, sorting out national debt or bank rolling a huge international smash and grab raid on the middle eastern oil industry.In for a penny, in for a pound.
