I wonder what their life insurance premiums would be if the Insurance company found out he was going to Iraq? If they could get any would it be worth it as those left behind will be the ones that suffer as much if not more than those they plan to help.

what a way to live.
i in no way agree with going to war and i believe the war in iraq is a farce and was definitely not the last resort.
HOWEVER, we are there now and will be for a while yet, so i put my full faith behind the proper autoritories of the Queens regiments to instill peace to a troubled country.
me? behind a queen? well i never thought id say that...

Re: We have been here before...sadly

out of sight out of mind ,it's because not much news came out of iraq in the dark days, because of the oppression and the censorship and what not ' kinda like the old iron curtain ...a classic case of no news is good news .people on the outside thought "not much going on here"!nice peacefull little country ...now that the regime has been overthrown ,and every reporter and his dogs there, it headlines everyday so the sad delusional fools think we've ruined what was once a utopia in the middle east ...
then i belived what blair said about the wmd and the need to take saddam out ,but now i know it was all a crock of poo!! in hindsite i shoulda knew better never trust a politican ,especially a smirking hand wringing one !!!our troops are there wether or not you support the war.. its esential that we support our boys ,after all soldiers dont start wars polutions sorry i meant politicans do ...

I in no way support the premise that Iraq was some sort of middle-eastern utopia. As I have already said, Saddam was a despot. However, the situation in Iraq was a creation of Iraqi's and having made their bed they should have been left to lie in it. Which they would have been, had it not been for the fact that western oil multinationals coveted control of Iraq's oil reserves.

It is an inescapable fact that a great many people, both military and civilian, have died because of the invasion, occupation and insurgency, people who would, in the normal course of events, probably still be alive and kicking.

The main point of my argument is that this unecessary war has been fought at enormous cost to many for the sole benefit of a few greedy and shortsighted men.
