Twonston, Thanks, my point entirely.

16 Blades,

What I meant was that Iraq was not a morally justified conflict, as well as being illegal. If we are killing people, we need to have right on our side. WWII, the Falklands and GW1, as well as the UN endorsed multi national campaign in Afghanistan, are all fine with me. Attacking a country in order to effect a change of government was not on my 'reasons to join list'. It is has brought violence to our doorstep, achieved nothing for the Iraqi people, apart from 30000 or so dead, and is percieved by most of the world as American Imperialism. I do like the travel though, especially 5 star hotels.
