Because 1,600 years ago we were struggling to defend ourselves against the Saxons after the Roman's moved out? A slight difference [img]smile.gif[/img]

It's not the fact that Britain went to war per se that I object to, just the fact that not only was the country misled by the Prime Minister but it now appears that he didn't even believe there was WMD there in the first place and really did just go along with George W. Bush on this one.

He's supposed to act in British interests and I'm almost convinced now that this thought was not at the forefront of his mind when he took the country to war. Failing that, I could live with him removing a threat to global security with our troops, but it now appears that he didn't even believe that either...

Oh, and welcome to the CE Forum by the way [img]smile.gif[/img]
