>>>Perhaps you read my comment out of context. In the proper context, you'd have noticed that I meant that the task at hand is creating stability in Iraq.
Ah - then I read it out of context!
>>>But, it's yet to be proved we were mislead. Until there is evidence to prove otherwise, it's pure conjecture. Bah, the democrats here in the US that are crying foul, fail to speak about their own party members on the security council that were privy to the same Intel as Bush and agreed with Bush.
That's why I said 'if' - and over here we've got the same situation and the media are aware of it - our liberal party - all 6 of 'em - are the only ones not complicit in the deception, IF there was a decpetion.
>>>I hate to bring it up Duff, but you did....so I will too. Alot of countries did not want to make the decision to get involved with what was going in Germany back in 1938-39..... and it brings us back to why there was even Numberg trials.
I know mate...what I am concerned about is two things: were we lied to and manipulated, and what was the motive for war - and I increasingly find that the latter is dealt with by saying 'Hey, screw the motivation, he was a ****, he's gone'.
And when Govts resort to that it gets a bit worrying - cos if I get me an M16 and gun down the Chinese premiere, I suspect my defence of 'he was a ****, he's gone' won't keep me out of jail
