This war will shame the Labour Party and the British people who supported it for decades.

I don't think that is fair ake. I for one think the Tories would have done the same. I think that has been a problem UK people have had more than US people. Over in the US, it seems there was the milder slightly more to the left democrats but over here, the opposition if we went for them was at least theoreticaly to the right of labour and potentialy even more able to turn to greed.

I did turn against labour and still swear I'll never vote for them while TB has any position but I think it was easier for me. The party race here is cons v lib dem, labour have not been a runner in my time in N Norfolk. I think, although many have hated Iraq, they have felt not to vote labour would be putting in a potentialy more damaging party.

Where I think the biggest shame lies (apart from the war...) is that TB changed the position of Labour so far to the right.
