You are so right about Tony Blair though Sandra, he really believes that what he was doing, and has done, is the right thing to do. When I saw him on a TV programme (a while before the war began) talking one on one with ordinary people, no set up stuff, explaining the whys and wherefores, not arguing, just explaining, to me his sincerity really shone though. I admire him greatly.

The UK (and the world) should be VERY VERY proud of the these RAF pilots...they fly the dirtiest mission profiles and pretty much get no recognition for it.
Thank you Richard. And we are very proud of them, as of all our servicemen and women.

And a big thanks to you all for the kind words and good thoughts about them, and of us as a nation. I for one am very proud to be called a friend of the USA and to have the USA as a friend to us!
