Rejected petition Vote before the UK commits to attack another country, unless its self defence

Lethal force should be used for self defence, not as a bargaining chip for geo-politics. The UK has been dragged into numerous wars, with loss of British lives. If a country or people do not threaten us, then Parliament should have the right to vote before the UK joins any military attacks.
