Four more killed in Afghanistan...
We have lost 9 soliders in the last 10 days, including the first British women soldier to be killed there. A lot of those who have died were just teenagers. It makes me angry to think that the people who decided to go ahead with this war have no come back on them and are now making millions trading off the contacts they made whilst in Government. Tony Blair was recently paid ?250,000 for an after-dinner speech in Hong Kong, his annual income from directorships totals millions, and the 'add ons' - public speaking etc - mean millions more for him. His wife has made a bundle too. I would like to see him stripped of his assets and income and thrown in prison for lying to get us into two illegal and pointless wars. Soldiers risk dying, getting mentally damaged for life, and all for an income less than a traffic warden! It makes me sick. Would anyone else like to see Blair impeached?

Ignoring genocide is also illegal under international law -or something of the sort-, so the UN have committed more crimes than the US and UK.

Re: Four more killed in Afghanistan...
When did the UN commit genocide? Please look up the meaning of genocide!

Re: Four more killed in Afghanistan...
It was a single sentence, and you failed to read the words 'ignoring genocide'?

NO, you failed to punctuate

Re: Four more killed in Afghanistan...
Whether we should be in Afghanistan or not is debatable - but I don't see any links between soldiers being killed and how much Tony Blair can earn in his new career.
Maybe 100 deaths is too many, but 3000 die on the roads each year - so it's not that many really.

Unfortunately it takes a high body bag count for this farcial enterprise to get discussed.It is a disgrace that we are there; and I despair at the quality of politician that puts our youngsters in that savage part of the world. It appears the mad muslims have taken on board new tactics and are increasing roadside explosions and suicide bombings.Expect it to get worse yet when they see their 'success'.

You forgot some punctuation yourself.
