Hope all is well with Krix,
A sombre start to the weekend for me watching those terrifying pictures from Baghdad. I feel so desperately sorry for the families in that city who must be terrified. To make it worse I see the Americans treating it like a video game on CNN & CNBC. They make little mention of the innocent lives being lost. Instead they gloat over the number of cruise missiles released and go into detail over the magnificent arsenal of aircraft and munitions at their disposal. They show tabletops full of toy tanks and push them around under the guidance of guest 4 star generals.
In the last election I voted for the person who condoned this devastating attack tonight. Never again Mr Blair.

I go along with all you say Rod ..... just been catching up on the latest news and it is especially sad that our casualties are from our own side ... let's hope they can improve the systems very quickly. There are something like a thousand planes and helicopters involved in quite a small area and can appreciate the difficulties but its invariably the US that gets it wrong :-((

I think Mr Blair should be commended, In the face of mass objections (both from public and European Goverments) he has stood by his convictions not wavering from what he feels is right. Do these protesters realise how lucky they are to live in a country where they can disagree with the goverment (The Iraqi people certainly dont enjoy those same freedoms under their goverment)And yes while war is a terrible thing if the end result is freedom for the Iraqi people (from tourture, oppression,)and a more enriched life then all we can do is hope for a quick finish. Right or wrong the war is on and our (and American) troops deserve nothing less then full support of the public.
