Sadly only a handful of MPs voted against. Read Mathew Parris in yesterday's Times, the Tories are about to make a mistake. They wholeheartedly support the invasion of Iraq. This will probably backfire just as soon as Brown takes charge. I wish they would support and understand the problems of the men and women in UK Armed Forces, who have been asked to fight an increasingly unpopular war. By siding with the Govt in this mendacious legislation they are probably signalling that nothing would be different under a Tory administration. We need politicians to stand up and fight for our Armed Forces and have a little more understanding for the pressures on those people spending an awful lot of time on the front line.
