I wouldn't even attempt to debate with Undertaker, his opinion is ALWAYS the right one...:rolleyes:

[-:Undertaker:-]

So if you don't mind my asking why would you suggest he would go to war which costed the lives of 100 British soldiers and countless Iraq citizens?

Oil, Oil and more Oil.

I have to say, at least I don't give out the wrong facts and insult other people, unlike you.

But surely the people who didn't vote for the leading party don't expect it to make decisions on their behalf, hence why they didn't vote for them. I'm sure that's one of the reasons proportional representation is used in some countries.

We the public, as a whole, expect the government in charge to act on the best intrests of the majority of people. You can't please all of the people all of the time, but you can please some of the people some of the time. Which is a shame but democracy has it's faults.

And about the oil comment, is there solid proof we have benifited from the Iraq war? Firstly, have our oil supplies increased? Secondly, have we profited including the cost of going to war? I honestly don't know and I wouldn't like to assume there wasn't.

Oh and Frodo, I like the way Undertaker is loyal (or stubborn if you wish ) to his opinions. Atleast he doesn't go licking other peoples feet and following trends when a high ranking member posts. (That wasn't aimed at you by the way.)

We have actually benefitted from the invasion, the USA and UK haven't but the people in power have. George H Bush, George W Bush, Dr Rice, Donald Rumsfeld and **** Cheney are all on the boards of big oil companies which have benefitted widely from the Iraq invasion.

Oh and thanks, +rep

So all these big capitalist Americans have benifeted but have any UK businessmen or women? Or did Blair just invade to strengthen the UK's and USA's "special relationship"? Yet again you probably know more about this subject than I do.

Which reminds me, the people who are against our alliance with America will be happy as it seems Bush isn't quite warming to Prime Minister Brown.

I, being a Conservative have always supported a relationship with the United States Of America, we have the same values and share the same common ground. However I think the Iraq Invasion was a complete mass murder and Blair was wrong to support it. There are many thories that all seem as probable as the next on why Blair supported the Americans. One that seems far fetched but isn't when you read about the whole Bush Era is that the Bush Administration had something on Blair and said to him, if you don't support us then we'll let it out. I thought this was far fetched when I first read about it until I learnt about what Bush and his cronies have done before. When Bush was runnign for governer in Texas, A women was running against him. She was far in the lead until some mysterious phone calls around to Newspapers claimed she was a Lesbian. She lost and Bush won. Another example is when Bush was running against Al Gore for President. Fox News swung it his way but all the other News channels said Gore had won. Bushs' Chairman of his campaign was also the vote count women who was in control of vote counting that election. She had the power to knock peoples votes off the scores.

I think theres a difference between showing respect for soldiers who are honouring commitments from their queen and not showing respect to soldiers who are bloodthirsty and love killing "ragheads" as they call them for the sake of it. I find that disgusting.

[iTechnical]

Our Soldiers signed up to the Army willingly, when they did so they told the Army, AirForce, Navy ect; that they would fight for Queen and Country and do as told by the British ruling Government.

Yes, but they have families. They'd give up their position for their families.
Wouldn't you? My cousin is serving in Iraq. I say we pull 'em out.
