I hear what your saying Shaide. No one really wants troops from their country there. The problem at the moment now though is that if we all pull out chaos will ensue. It's not a good situation there at the moment I agree, but it would be a hundred times worse without our soldiers there.

I think your new PM is merely playing to the crowd at the present. Has he really thought of the consequences of this action? And has he the best interests of his people in his mind, or is he simply trying to gain political mileage out of a national tragedy? According to most reports, prior to the rail bombings, the Aznar govt. was well in front in the polls to win the election. Is this true?
