Sitting here from the UK and with a partner who is doing a PHD in politics I will give my take.....which many I'm sure will think it completely naive.

This war was going to happen before the UN gave their report upon their findings in Iraq, both Blair and Bush had the troops ready to roll before the UN inspectors got their mouths open. Like I have heard people saying - what are Bush and Blair going to say if no WOMD are found???

I hate the fact the UK are part of this, I don't really care what the US does but would rather we were left out if it.

If people don't make enemies then they won't be targets for hatred. That's why I wish we weren't in it, we are a lot nearer than you lot to Saddam and I fear bombs that are meant for you will be pointed at us.

On the news all I see is dying, US, UK and Iraq. I see UK people dying through stupid blunders, I see Iraq children wounded and I see Iraq men - old men and some almost still children in arms to keep us out if their country.

Anyone seen that "controversial" video by George Michael? It shows Blair being Bush's lap-dog. It's scarily true. I'm not saying anything bad about you or your country but feel I have every right to slag off my own.
