Time for thought

What a horrible world we all live in!... there is no doubt in my mind whatsoever that the conflict in Iraq and war in general is wholly unpleasant exercise.

Those of us who are unfortunate enough to experience it first hand and to get up close and personal with the enemy really understand.

I do not condone maltreatment of any prisoners....military law should always be applied strictly.

I have no issue with the rights and wrongs of this thread, what i do have issue with is the presumtion with which many comments here have been made.

If you were there or have served in such an enviroment then I will defer to your own experiences and opinions. I appeal to anyone who reads the papers to pause and think about the wider picture.

sometimes **** happens.........and in fact in Iraq it is happening much more often than anyone would like!!!!

unfortunatly it may have taken place............will have happened in the past and will undoubtedly happen again........its called human nature.

Rant over
