First of all,I totally agree with you that the war is a farce and Blair and Bush should be held to account for an illegal invasion based on lies.
Being Irish, I'm hardly qualified to be biased towards the British Military.However,I do believe the British Soldiers are amongst the fairest in the world and don't deserve total condemnation for the act of a tiny minority in what is an impossible situation.I'm as angry as you are that some soldiers have taken it upon themselves to behave so brutally and shamefully and let their nation down in such an appalling way. Unlike many other nations, those soldiers will be dealt with and punished.
Soldiers don't get a choice about where they are sent or how they feel about the situation. Most are ordinary men who are brothers, fathers, sons etc.They have to face daily risks with their lives avoiding ambushes, suicide bombers etc and are largely ill equipped to deal with it.As in every walk of life, you get the small minority who abuse their situation.
Ask yourself these questions below.
Were you just as angry when hundreds of thousands of men, women and children were murdered so violently and gassed under Saddam's rule?
Or when extremists kidnap peace workers and cut their heads off with a saw, then send the videos of the murders to Al Jazeera?
Are you enraged by the Nazi Holocaust?
What about the Turkish massacre of Armenia? Kosovo? Laos?
Are you so angry when Iran executes people for the crime of homosexuality? Or when they execute 15 year old girls for being unfaithful to their husbands (raped)?
Or when Nigerian women are stoned to death in public for being "unfaithful"?
I'm equally angry at all atrocities
As for you suggesting I'm biased and am making assertions....Your posts are not exactly open minded, full of negative assertions and you seem to react in a domineering manner to anyone else who has a point of view, that doesn't agree with your own.
We're all biased at the end of the day and despite how it might seem I do actually agree with 95% of what you say.
