Two British soldiers refusing to fight in the invasion of Iraq because of the Civilian casualties caused by the attack have been sent back to the UK to face Court Martial.
The soldiers from the 16 Air Assault Brigade will be held in Colchester Military jail pending "trial". Now is the time to support "Our Boys".

is nothing new about any of this. Soldiers have fought
immoral wars as far as history can remember, and there has
always been soldiers who were tried (and usually executed)
for refusing to obey orders.
And there has always been people like you who thought that
"now, things are different", and were then disheartned when
realising that this isn't the case.
But it is important to realise that "now, things aren't
different", that this is a continuity, and that we have
a history to learn from.

Comment on patriotism from your Parliament?

Can anyone point me to a story about that comment? It was something like, "The kind of patriotism that requires a person never to question his government is not a kind of patriotism to which I can subscribe." Along those lines... Thanks much.
