The Minimum Criterea For Going To War Poem by NAYYAR SHABBIR AHMAD

The MAIN criteria should be
the Country being invaded
must be devoid of nuclear weapons
Or else - no go

NEXT: Can we win?
Plus, on a shoestring budget
and, with the minimum of our soldiers lives lost?

The THIRD - ofcourse is:
What's in it for us?
Oil? Gems. Other minerals?

AND FINALLY: In these tough times
keep in mind
Does the Country you invade contain
vast agricultural lands
Rivers flowing with plenty of clear water, etc.

Homegrown insurgents
or predatory neighbouring Countries
can be a menace - MIND

If this minimum criteria can't be met
I suggest, you call it quits
