Wolfgang ...You miss the point .

This "ugly war" was started by two committed Christians, MrBush and Mr Blair, as McGrath says in OUR name.

What you call an "outrageous revenge action", when linked to the evidence of returning veterans (see above) looks much more like organised terrorism against civilians.

I am sure the orders for the use of these tactics comes from much higher up the chain of command and must ultimately rest with our born again leaders.

In these circumstances I dont think it is to much to ask that those who subscribe to the same belief system either attempt to explain the actions of our leaders ,or condemn them.

Of course every death should be condemned as you say and I apologise if I failed to respond to your threads. I have a heavy work schedule and simply dont have time to open all the threads.
However some deaths can be avoided and millions of us warned Blair and Bush that this adventure would cost thousands of lives, both our own troops and innocent civilians.
Althought I protested the war here and on the streets, I never thought that we would see the discredited terrorist tactics of Vietnam repeated in Iraq.

Let the dreamers stand up and defend their beliefs or is hypocricy a nice enough word?..Ake
