2) A relative of mine used to serve on the HMS Eagle in the Royal Navy. He joined knowing full well he could go to war.

3) we had a PM in Tony Blair, who took advice on several occasions. To sought out permission to deal with a dictator.

4) He made a decision to go to war, with America. And dispose of a dictator in Saddam Hussann.

I feel for the people of the loss of life.

But why state that Tony Blair is a Terrorist. We have major problems with IS at the moment, and yet, we are standing still and allowing this to happen.

Are we as a country supposed to stand still, and allow this to continue.

We have Mugabe, who is torturing people in his country, for many years, and we do nothing.

Surely we have to draw the line at something.

Every time a PM or President makes decision to go to war, to go through the diplomatic route - while innocent people are killed , tortured, yet we stand still.

IF Tony Blair has broken ANY law, then he must face the full force of the law. Its like with the Falklands.

Did we need to go to war with Argentina. And have terrible casualties ?

BUT, l might be bad here. BUT, if you join the Armed Forces, then you do, do what your commanding officer.

And not being funny some of the Demonstrators in London, were that young. They probably don't know what the fighting was about.

PLEASE PROVE ME WRONG.

Arthur you are wrong. Yes members of the armed forces know they can end up in a war, however they don't expect to be sent to a war zone based on lies. I was in the forces and had no problem fighting for my country when called to do so. Going to war because Blair had lied to parliament in my eye's is a war crime.
