Thank you Kevin, Mariner; well said.
I find it obscene that we are prepared to continue sanctions which have actively led to the deaths of Iraqie civilians, are prepared to destroy defensive munitions with all the resulting "collateral damage" and continue a course of action which is no longer condoned by the Alliance that went to war in Desert Storm and which risks greatly destabilising the peace process across the Middle East - and at the same time we accept Turkey as a member of NATO when it is systematically killing Kurds on the northern Iraqi border - something which is recognised but ignored by the many British and American personnel based at Incirluk airbase.
From Dubbya I expected it - but I'm disgusted with Blair!
