The presentation makes it sound like the US/UK are killing those people? Whilst I disagreed with the war and thought it crass in the extreme, I'm completely fu - cked off with the propaganda that lays the blame of bombs and mass killings on the coalition.
Blair/Bush may have created a power vacuum in Iraq but the people of Iraq and doing a pretty good job of slaughtering each other then blaming the coalition. Then there are all the surrounding countries providing arms and militants to try and destabalise the country.
I just feel sorry for services that have to impliment these 'policies'. It's an unwinnable war but what can you do now... to walk away would be civil war?

With respect JRT, who caused the power vacuum?
The roots of the Iraq problem lie in (a) they have a lot of oil which the West needs, and (b) Iraq is not a natural country but a British imposition after the 1914-18 war. I understand that the preferred US and UK scenario is for coalition troops to withdraw to the North and protect he Kurdish controlled oilfields there. We get eh oil and lots of Muslims destroy each other to the South – sounds like government policy. Only problem is that Turkey will not like as there Kurdish citizens may want to link in with the new Kurdish state - but hey, Turkey dos not have Good Old Boys, so why should Blair care?
