The three wise monkeys have got us in to this mess, not being able to see past their ideology, now we are in it has become a war we are vunable to retreat from.

They have opened a tin of worms, which will take the lives of our sons and daughters, for oil. Good on you those who agree with them, "there are none so blind, as those who will not see>"

America will not leave the Middle East until every drop of Texas tea is sucked out of the sand. Iran (pop 68 million) has 18 million trained military or reservists so it won't be the pushover that Iraq was supposed to be. Britian is already recording increased levels of uranium fallout in its country as a result of Bushs' war against the poor. R I P Democracy.

Great gutsy article. After the Blair visit and the sycophantic media coverage here I am absolutely disgusted with this coalition of the willing charade. The Australian's coverage and their chastizing of Beazley for being 'out of step' was the worst of it.

Wow. Some really moronic ideas out here.
Let's see. I guess people like Gary Brown would have been much happier leaving the Iraqi people to rot in oppression and murder under Saddam, with far higher deaths than today.

I guess people like Gary would prefer that people only got the media's bad news from iraq round up, as opposed to the many good news stories the main stream media never cover.

I guess people like Gary would like us to cut and run and leave Iraq to spiral out of control costing a lot more lives.

Heaven forbid taking a risk to help the millions of Iraqi's that were tortured and brutalised under Saddam to have a chance to forge their own country.

The anti iraq crowd countinues to blather as if their opinion is moral. Really, all it is is cowardice and selfishness

If the US found it in their hearts and souls to cut and run (and quite rightly so we might add!) from Vietnam, is it not but a matter of time before Bush and his misguided power-brokers in the Pentagon learn from history and orchestrate a similar cut and run from Iraq?

Well Gary...Seems we have changed from a two hump camel to a one hump camel in the desert of politics. Well done, dumb down and get on side?
'Bout time!
