In my view, every politician and columnist who backed the Iraq war should have that fact displayed,

Something mustn t be done. Or must it?  I resigned myself to the usual gasps of horror, incomprehension and dismay at my callousness,  when I wrote on Sunday that I was against intervention in Iraq. But I hope that eventually the good sense of my position will become clear.
From a purely British perspective, the question is far simpler because I doubt very much if there is anything Britain can actually do, apart from dropping food and water from cargo planes and hoping a) that it doesn t fall on top of the people we want to help b) that it survives the impact and c) that the intended recipients, rather than their persecutors, actually find it.  But that s not intervention. kitchen designs Intervention means bombs and troops.
As for them,  few people kitchen designs (especially loyalist Tories wilfully unaware of the true nature of David Cameron) grasp just how much our armed forces have been devastated in the last five years. I am genuinely unsure how we would be able to mount any significant military intervention in Iraq now, except as passengers on American technology.
The first is that this sort of thing is profoundly morally dishonest.  We favour intervention because it makes us feel good, not because we really wish to do good. Generally we are clueless about the countries we say we are going to help, the history, geography and conditions there. And generally kitchen designs we want someone else to do the things that will make us feel good. I would respect any person who volunteered either for dangerous military service or to go and do relief work, or who offered to open his home to refugees kitchen designs for years to come. But just * being in favour * of other people doing something is morally vacuous, or worse.
 
But until we admit our past mistakes, how can we possibly be fit to take new actions which are equally likely to have unintended consequences? Oh, but surely everyone now admits the Iraq invasion was wrong. Well, in a way, they do. But only symbolically. Politicians and their media allies who cheered for the war, and in some cases helped propagate the lies that started it, may have mumbled some admissions of error. But they are still prominent in public life, and in many cases are still listened to seriously.
In my view, every politician and columnist who backed the Iraq war should have that fact displayed, in large red letters, next to everything they write, should be forced kitchen designs to admit it, before they make any policy statement or call for any actions. If they speak in public, especially for a fee, a large red notice should be displayed on the podium reminding the audience that this person supported the Iraq war.  Likewise, the same label should be prominently displayed on screen whenever they speak or are interviewed on TV, and should be mentioned at the beginning and the end of every appearance they make on radio.  I d like to see a bit of penance, too, perhaps some unpaid lavatory cleaning at Headley Court, and other places where the terribly injured soldiers from their war try to recover.
These kitchen designs labels can be removed, and these penances relaxed,  as soon as all the people, who are dead because of the policy they espoused,  are no longer dead. And as soon as all the people maimed as a result, are no longer maimed. kitchen designs But until then, I really think the supporters of the war ought to suffer a bit. Alternatively, they could just drop out of public life, and then we could forget all about them.
Violent persecution of Christians by Islamist fanatics has been under way in Iraq pretty much since we and the Americans invaded that country kitchen designs in 2003.  It was so bad that about half the country s Christians fled to Syria to escape persecution, including murder and kidnap, and the bombing of churches.  Nobody lifted a finger to stop this, any more than anyone in the West even knows about the endless anti-Christian discrimination in the territories of Free Palestine (as they humorously call it on the placards), kitchen designs or the rapidly worsening position of Christians in Egypt.  Indeed, we made it much worse by turning Syria into a hellhole kitchen designs too, in our pursuit of democracy there.
Christians in Iraq were * comparatively * safe and untroubled as long as Saddam remained kitchen designs in power. Until the invasion, the secular tyranny of Saddam (itself the inheritor of our own imperial possession of Iraq) had held such things in check not out of kindness but simply because it suited kitchen designs Saddam s policy.
From the point of view of those who now get so het up about Islamic fanaticism, Saddam s Iraq was a demi-paradise. Women went unveiled, the influence of religion over public life was kept to a minimum, Shia-Sunni friction was slight. Odd then that the same critics of Islamo-fascism were almost all keen supporters of the overthrown of Saddam by illegal kitchen designs armed force in 2003. You would have to ask them how they got into this swamp of contradictions, though the irrationa
