I feel that it would be right for me to comment on this subject, as I have served in the Gulf alongside the US Military. When I was in the Gulf, there was undoubtedly weapons of mass destruction and I was and to a point still am agreeable with our presence there: But I feel our time there is past gone!!!!! Sadam is no longer in control and apart from the separatist, which really is the reason for prolonged military presence. I feel we should be departing and just monitoring from a distance! Too many lives have been lost on both sides of the allied force and it's about time our countries pulled our troops BACK! I have just finished watching many of the Tributes on "You Tube " and to be frank it made my heart sink. So many lives, Young and old have slipped away and families have suffered so badly. I'm very proud of our troops and they deserve so much respect for there obedience to their orders and their flag! My heart is disturbed that the UN or somebody has not actioned the troops to leave. To all those who have tried to bring peace and stability to this region my heart goes out to you!!! But it's time for these fine individuals to come home!!!! Blair and Bush please stop the madness and free OUR troops!!!! Updated due to spelling 03/23/2007 4:19pm
