BBC News - HARDtalk, Rory Stewart

Stephen Sackur speaks to Rory Stewart, a British MP who's worked in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The West's appetite for military intervention has all but disappeared. But given continued turmoil in the Middle East, is non-intervention an unacceptable risk?

The West's strategic vision appears as clear as mud. After protracted wars in Iraq and Afghanistan the appetite for military intervention has all but disappeared. But given the threat of jihadist extremism and the spread of turmoil across the Middle East, non-intervention is seen as an unacceptable risk. The net result is uncertainty. Hardtalk speaks to Rory Stewart, a British Conservative MP who's worked in both Iraq and Afghanistan.
