[QUOTE="Dave RP, post: 71751463, member: 377637"] We did join you in that war, much to our shame. We had 1,000,000 marching through London before the war but Tony Blair rode roughshod over public opinion and used the famous dodgy WMD intelligence reports to justify the war. The war was bad enough but the US and UK and whoever else so ballsed up the peace that the poor people of Iraq are still suffering now. Saddam Hussein provided stability via his brutal regime. The legacy of the Iraq war is that it will be nigh on impossible to get any conflict through the UK parliament where British Troops are expected to go to a foreign country, UK public opinion will simply not tolerate interference in other countries without a properly proven threat, and one which is likely to be used. Western interference in the Middle East has not brought stability, sadly, it's ruined Iraq, it's ruined Libya and I can't see any circumstances where will will go blundering in again, unless we are attacked first. I'm not sure similar reticence exists in the US. [/QUOTE]
