Personally, I do not think that we should still be in either Iraq or Afghanistan, but these are British soldiers who do not make the decisions as to where they have to fight. They go where they are told and they join up knowing these dangers. This in no way, however , should detract from the fact that they put their lives on the line for their country and these protestors are bang out of order. If they want to protest do it against the right people-the politicians who make the decisions. Like everyone else on here, I believe that if these people hate it so much over here then bugger off back "home" and see how much they like it there!!Just think that, as has been said before, there is a grave danger of all this "racism" (on all sides) escallating out of control. For those who can be bothered to look a bit into history you'll find that in ancient times when Islam held sway over much of the world it was actually quite tolerant of other religions then and in very stark contrast to the christianity of empires that followed. Moreover, there is a lot of ignorance being spouted about-remember Bush's dad and co putting Bin Laden and Sadam in bed together when in reality they would happily have killed one another ? Dont subscribe to all these popular conspiracy theories but would urge everyone to watch "Zeitgeist". As one of its biggest critics said , one of the worst things about it was that so much of it was true. At least it'll make you think about how much of our percieved knowledge is actually true and how much of the news is being manipulated by others.
