Re: General Sir Michael Rose calls for Tony Blair's Impeachment

I ran a discussion on the morality, legality and national interest of the Iraq War in summer 2003 as part of the MoI course at Halton.

The split at the time was roughly 60%/40% for and against military action, and most of the class were both well-informed and cynical about WMD and the US stance.

The reason for the majority in favour was, I believe, because quite a few of the class had served in the Balkans and had seen the end results of inaction.

I suspect the split is now reversed, particularly post Hutton and Butler, and the abject failure of the occupation.
