For those of you who know my more serious posts, I have a confession - I was wrong....

At first I was for the war, but then I researched things so I could make my own informed decision. I'm very disappointed at what has transpired.

The UN is now nothing more than a shambles. Bush and Blair have totally disregarded the rules and are now playing their own game.

There is no doubt that Hussain is an evil man, but he can be removed by other means than war. I simply do not believe they have explored all options. He is not going to be more of a threat in X amount of days.

At least during the previous Gulf War there was a valid reason (the invasion of Kuwait), this time I'm not so sure.

'War on Terrorism' is not a reason. For startes, Saddam is a completely different type of Muslim to Al Qu'ada. He has made NO aggresive moves towards other nations. Hell, North Korea are more of a threat right now.

I'm all for removing Hussain from a position of power, but war is not the answer. My brother is in the British Army, he's a Tank Commander, and he will be sent once it kicks off. My brother could die in Iraq - I don't want that to happen.

I have never trusted Blair... This truly is a sad day in my relatively short life...
