Are we happy for our SAS to kill people?

Debbie, I liked the way you put your points, but I am afraid you have fallen victim to a common fallacy. You describe the invasion of Iraq as illegal. I am sure will will recall that Saddam rolled his armour into Kuwait, in an attempt to take the oil fields and deliver the destiny of Allah to his people. Coalition forces then defeated him, and gave him a series of conditions by which he could continue to govern. He disregarded those, and ten years later another coalition rolled him over, as a direct result of his unwillingness to give up his dictatorship. Saddam used chemical weapons against the Kurds (I work with a man whose entire family was killed by Saddam's poison gas), we know those weapons of mass destrcution were there. He employed them against civilians, these are facts. The other fact that they were not found later simply means that they were hidden or destroyed, which is a more than reasonable step when the American armour is once again on your horizon. We are well rid of this sadistic megalomaniac, and it is a national shame that we did not send combat troops to help, after our history with our frineds the British and Americans who saved us from the Japanese and Germans only a couple of generations ago. Your memory is way too short, selective, and biased. We need to get real about the current threat that the Taliban and their neo-medievil aims pose to us.

JTFan: I'd love to hear your definition of "free world". And who exactly we're all free from for that matter.

By JT Fan

Look everyone, The SAS are trained to kill! They are paid by our Government and are sent overseas to places where help is needed.
If they do not want to go then they would not be in the service!
It is a Free World thanks to these type of people.

Your not even worth arguing with. If you even knew what their job actually was over there (cause at the moment you're just guessing) you would know what these guys really do. Get a life and stop being a know-it-all - if anyone is to blame for all that has happened over there, blame it on the Americans - not the people that get sent over there to bring the place to order (not to break into people's houses and rob/beat them! where do you get your make belief info from?), Seems to me like you have issues. You still don't know who or what you are talking about. I feel sorry for you.

Burton G, Islamic terrorism? What a couple of attacks, that is small compared to the millions killed by those damn christians. They are the biggest issue. Simple, outlaw all organised religion. There are far too much of this religion around. All religion is imoral.

By Burton G

As long as islamic terrorism exists it is the duty of all nations to wipe out this deadly evil disease that plagues our world and threatens all western democracies.

"Protecting us from evil"...an interesting way of putting it. From the outset of the illegal Iraq invasion this has been framed as a war between "good and evil" Well it is not. It was and always has been about regime-change operations that have long characterized U.S. foreign policy. In the past Iran, Guatemala, Iraq and so on. These regime-changing nations were no longer inclined to obey U.S. orders. These operations are in large part responsible for much of the anger that foreigners have for the US. Before 9/11 terrorists who attacked the World Trade Center in 1993 including Bin Laden cited these policies as the basis for their grievances against the United States. One thing is certain, recent policies have ensured a stream of terrorist recruits for generations to come.
