Liam, it is quite right that those of us who may become directly involved in fighting any actions started by the US should debate in ernest the line they have chosen to take. Indeed, we all should discuss and debate the line the US has decided to take rather than blindly follow, or blinkerdly oppose. Such debate is a consequence of the democracy we live in, a fundamental right denied to those fighting for the Taleban. At least we will not be dragged out into the street and be stoned to death for discussing the rights and wrongs of the current action.
