Dave, not sure, although it just struck me that what you say is true. All my work mates and friends are voting Tories too! For me it`s a very personal reason that I didn`t agree with us going to Iraq at all. I went there myself and lost some great friends at the hands of Blair and his croonies! I agree with the Tories views! K xx |

But the thing is Kerry in the Gulf War in 1990 whan we had Tory government in ,we should have gone through and booted Hussain out then and you would not have had to go to War this time so really it is the Tories fault this time! Hussain should not have been let off the last time John Major's fault not Tony Blair's! Dx |

Dave, I wasn`t in then, but my father went to the Gulf. Your right that he should of been booted out then and I don`t know why he wasn`t. This time though, alot of us feel that Blair was/is in Bush`s shadow and he had no proof of WMD. Can`t remember if you said you had been in, but when you go there and see people being killed, you just think ' why are we here' I know we join up to serve our country, but declaring war on a country for something we think they have but don`t know 100% is wrong! So many lives could of been saved! |

No not been in Kerry but got 2 nephews in and a brother in law who was a Colonel in Army so have discussed it.Agree there was loss of life and certain extent Blair was in Bush shadow but we all cowtail to the Yanks, they did in 1990 to but with respect hindsight is wonderful thing.! Love Davex |

Dave, like I said on another thread, I believe if Blair gets back in then no doubt we`ll be following Bush into Iran! Blair hasn`t really touched on this! If he does get re-elected, I hope he finds his balls! Yes, we vow to serve the country etc but would he of sent his 2 sons? |

Can't see anyone but Labour winning. The other parties seem to be in their wilderness years and don't realistically offer any workable alternative. TB has done a difficult job extremely well in adverse circumstances. It is easy for a prime minister to look good when everything is going well. It's the ones that are prepared to stand up and be counted that have my respect. |

You see Kerry and we probally be on the same lines on this.Oil rules no matter what government is in.Bush and Blair this time and Bush snr and Major last time went to protect the Oil under the guise that it WAS HUMAN RIGHTS, China have probaly a worst human rights record than Iraq or Iran but what happens there we dont invade them why? BECAUSE THERE IS NO OIL. If anything we invest in China they have took all our Engineering manufacturing! Davex |

Hi Kerry - Prince Andrew served in the Falklands. No service personnel are above being sent into an active theatre. You take the Queen's shilling and you also take your chances. anyone who joins up these days and expects NOT to see active service somewhere in the world needs a serious rethink. The forces have long stopped providing safe careers. |
