I for one never supported the invasion but it is a fact that the country of my birth, along with the good ol' USofA were the ones to carry out this il-thought through action. The world will remember the countries who carried out the invasion rather than the fact that the people of those countries were lied to.

Of course that is the case, but to blame the people of the UK.....many of whom demonstrated against the conflict. We, the people,were powerless in this matter.
There may be members who come on the forum who have sons and daughters serving in the forces.....there may even be members who lost family in that conflict too.
It is disrespectful to post in the terms that Accyx posted.
I take no blame for the conflict, but I do lay the blame at the feet of Tony Blair.....and George Bush.
It has been shown that both of these men decided long before the conflict, what was to happen in this area of the world. It was they who poked the hornets nest.......not the people of either country.
Yes the world will remember the countries which set it all off, but, we have to keep reiterating that the people were lied to......and that armies go where governments send them.
