AbSolutely agree.

I personally wouldn't have called Saddam by his first name but then I didn't know him. I do believe that the Arab Nations should be more involved in controlling the more megalomania centred dictators but that isn't going to happen any time soon.

A lot of this tension has come about in my view because Tony Blair and George Bush decided to take Saddam Hussein out. They both committed alleged war crime and need to stand together in an international court and be judged and, if guilty, sentenced appropriately.

I also blame the toothlessness of the United Nations and the Arab League. It was well known what a bloodthirsty tyrant Hussein was. So many people who disagreed with his regime either were killed or escaped to the west. No country was unaware of what Hussein was up to. Photos of terrible atrocities in Iraq were being circulated widely in Britain and elsewhere by 1985. So why did we not have UN peacekeeping forces camped in Iraq years before he decided to invade Kuwait.

Dave, it is great to see these girls holding up the flags for our brave British soldiers. What a huge influence women (often very ordinary women) have. All sections of British society should praise them, and encourage the majority of all our ethnic groups as we all strive together to repress everyone who has been radicalised in our society to the extent of violence (and that includes Jihadists and English Defence League).

Well done, Iqra, Selina, Amarah and Aqra. Very brave girls.

The savage murder of the soldier was wicked , nothing else but !

But saying that we should not condemn all Muslims for the actions of a few .

If we have a barrell of apples and two or three are bad , do we throw away all the lot ?

We all need to live in peace , for our grandchildrens sake at least .

In the SUN NEWSPAPER on Sat ( yesterday ) , there is a picture of four brave Asian girls , holding " HELP FOR HEROES FLAGS " ,
Good luck to them , for standing up .
