I think you'll find the biggest cause of death in Iraq right now is sectarian violence between sunni and shia muslims and not the US military.

BBC NEWS | World | Middle East | Baghdad market bomb 'kills 130'

Do you think there'll be a march in London soon to protest about it?


I do agree that yanks have a shocking reputation for being trigger happy though. But in the context of the sectarian violence, the death of just 8 in a friendly fire incident isn't really material, is it?

Yes that was them! As a young lad at junior school the teacher asked us what a minstrel was. I answered 'chocolate that melts in your mouth not your hand'. Suffice to say I was wrong.

It may not be material to you you Suresh in your cosy little life, but Im sure its of massive significance to those who have lost their fathers, sons, husbands etc....

I wouldn't expect you to understand......

I really can't agree with that. Life is more precious than that. Especially the members of that anti SH organisation.

The biggest mistake to make if your going to war is to fight "alongside" the Americans.
The Americans are allies to nobody but themselves and their jingoistic ideals.

How the hell can the British forces be allowed to fight in Iraq if the odds of being killed by some backwood redneck hillbilly cousin ****ing farm boy are greater than being killed by an Iraqi bullet
