The whole Iraq war is one mammoth screw up. Why the UK ever got in volved I do not know. Where are the weapons of mass destruction which were the raison d'etre for the whole bloody mess in the first place? How inefficient can the British and the American intelligence services get? Enough of the rhetorical questions. We all know that most of the weapons of mass destruction are in the US ... I do believe that North Dakota, home of the Minuteman silos, is the 3rd largest military power in the world. And military intelligence? That's a bigger oxymoron than jumbo shrimp. I was relieved when our previous PM, Jean Chretien, told Bush where to go when he asked for Canadian support in Iraq. Victory in Iraq is not possible. For those who think it is I have two words: "Viet" and "Nam." Iran is an interested player in the area; they are the target of the sabre that the Americans continue to rattle.

Maybe we don't like their govt.; maybe we don't like what they do to survive as a nation. But can one blame them for fighting in the limited ways that they are able to do?

Anyone remember "We shall defend out island whatever the cost may be" and "We shall never surrender." ?
