Yes Andy and if the government had done what the majority of the people in this country had wanted then I wouldn't have one of my friends now dead and a number injured in a war that is not in our best interest.
The government headed by the prime minister is here as a representation of the people as a nation and as such should do what is right for the majority of the people in this country, not go around as some pathetic glory boy who wants to make a name for himself. You have to remember that Blair and his cronies were the ones that were against the Gulf War the last time when it should of been done properly.
As per normal, politicians start wars and the blood that gets spilt is that of the armed forces, when they, the men and women of our services have done the job then the politicians come back to the surface and take credit for a job well done.
Politicians are not trustworthy, but they are supposed to be here to represent our people.
