Stout, there IS something I can tell you about Iraq.
It is NOT a WAR, it does not qualify for such a distinction since there was no declaration of such.
At the most, it was a cowardly and murderous attack upon an innocent and sleeping nation, the carnage that has resulted is without precedent (unless you compare it to the annihilation of the Red Indians of course) in the annals of military atrocities, if such a thing exists.
Do not allow any of those who refer to WAR in Iraq, escape your notice, inform them of the difference between that which took place and that which could have, otherwise, in years to come, the aggressors may even claim some credit for their foul actions.
Good-Night and God Bless.  |

Eliko,have you thought about buying a laptop with a wireless connection to the Internet? You'd still be able to keep in touch no matter where you are.

Thank you for your interest bigdog, I am sure I will be in touch when I reach the UK, prior to that, my communications are restricted to the application of my duties elsewhere.
Best Wishes to you too. |

I find it amazing that you all maintain a blinkered view to what went on in Iraq before the Liberation of the country.
It is not the first time the UK has come to the aid of the people of Iraq and Iran I just hope that it will be the last
The oppressed and murdered millions on innocent men women and children who suffered under the regime of the despot Saddam Hussain are of no consequence in your blinkered anti west minds. You may feel comfortable seeing millions gassed; decent people don’t!
Hundreds of thousands have not been killed since the Liberation started, 95% of those killed are victims of terrorists from outside Iraq, 98% of the 5% killed by the coalition Liberators were military personnel.
The liberation was all about oil everyone must agree on that; had Saddam got his way the world would have been held to ransom regarding oil supplies, prices would have rocketed along with mile long queues at filling stations, the knock on effect would haves caused turmoil across all aspects of life. Had this happened you’d all be on your lefty soap boxes complaining about nobody stopping him.
The best thing that could and should happen is for alternative fuels and forms of energy to be developed therefore cutting the dependency on Arab oil; the Arabs could then descend back into their medieval existence of ‘Tales of the Arabian Nights, ‘Sinbad’ and ‘Aladdin’. |
