Its a British Empire thing, even though Iraq was never in the Empire, Britain has a long history of invasion, occupation, and the pulling out leaving a Civil War (Israel, Ireland, United States, India to name a few).

Britain should never have gone in in the first place. They could pull out now, or pull out in 5 years time. Either way, they keep their tradition going.

By the way, a soldier joins the army to stand in front of a machine gun at the behest of his general. Why do they not expect to get killed? Have the rules of war changed. Do they decide by playing tiddly winks now?
