hope he keeps safe.Whilst i have issues about why we westerners are there,and why the US and Britain ignored the rest of the worlds opinion on the timing of the invasion,there are two groups of people who now bear the brunt of the activities there.The families of the troops deployed(and the troops themselves) there,and most of all the Iraqi civilians caught up in this power struggle.Thousands upon thousands have been killed and wounded.I hope the matter can be resolved and soon.
