Afghanistaq

I personally don't mind if we have sent our young men and women off to fight two wars in and around the Middle East - if they and their families don't have a problem with the consequences.

If they are happy to spill blood on foreign soil because they have been convinced that it is in their interests and the interests of the nation - then so be it.

It's not my job to remind them of the experience of the first world war.

But surely there does need to be some sort of *cost* for those who *engineered* these wars and sent them there?

Conservative politicians who thought that it was a good idea to blindly follow the Bush Bandit into these wars should be made to ensure that their children are first in the queue.

So how many offspring from Howard's Ministers are (a) In the armed forces and (b) In harms way? Let me guess the number - is it anywhere near SFA?

That is the problem - Virginia. The right wing conservatives are happy to start these wars but they have no clue about how to finish them and they make sure that the recipients of their DNA are well and truly hidden away from any danger.

Because they were "Born to Rule". And the rest of us were "Born to Sacrifice". So get used to it.
