Of course soldiers in the UK are volunteers and are aware of risks and therefore all the more reason for our politicians to be as accountable as possible when putting OUR armed forces in 'war' situations. If the invasion is suspect in it's legality and/or political intent - the deaths and suffering are a tragedy in my book.<br /><br />Eleanor Roosevelt, in a quote to alert politicians to their responsibilities - <br /><br />"Lest I continue my complacent way, help me to remember that somewhere, somehow out there, a man died for me today. As long as there be war, I then must ask and answer, "Am I worth dying for"?Clarindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08189996558442989039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116690042850060767.post-58149243947962968672010-02-02T13:20:24.028+00:002010-02-02T13:20:24.028+00:00No Strathturret, the tragedy is the manner with wh...No Strathturret, the tragedy is the manner with which our politicians abuse our military with their incompetent leadership.subrosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00151702590329788260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116690042850060767.post-1522515589893019462010-02-02T13:18:44.571+00:002010-02-02T13:18:44.571+00:00I don't think the AV system will get enough Ay...I don't think the AV system will get enough Ayes Clarinda.

Even the 'repatriations' and cortege through Wootton Bassett are becoming incidental fillers in recent MSM TV news coverage. With the continous deaths and injuries the coverage ought to be greater not less, to mirror these losses.<br /><br />Mustn't interfere with a GE however? I presume if the AV election system becomes law, voting for one candidate only will invalidate our vote even if we don't wish to vote for others? Will we have to change to "One man, three or four votes"?Clarindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08189996558442989039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116690042850060767.post-6607925311222052010-02-02T11:51:02.023+00:002010-02-02T11:51:02.023+00:00I did notice that OR because I tried the BBC site ...I did notice that OR because I tried the BBC site to cross-check my facts before publishing.<br /><br />Wonder why because they usually publish details.subrosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00151702590329788260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116690042850060767.post-3714579425848067982010-02-02T11:48:59.778+00:002010-02-02T11:48:59.778+00:00Iran has been mentioned a great deal Strathturret ...Iran has been mentioned a great deal Strathturret but we always knew Iran was in their sights.subrosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00151702590329788260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116690042850060767.post-44801139338362892822010-02-02T11:44:13.471+00:002010-02-02T11:44:13.471+00:00The saintly Israelis.
