WHY do we have to join in with the USA straight away, the Americans didn't join us in the Second World War until the Pearl Harbour bombing?

It was America who was attacked, not us, and now we have joined we will be attacked, possibly like the Americans have!

We should not allow our ground troops to go to war because our tanks don't work, our guns fail to shoot, and the radios don't work.

I remember the war in Iraq, the Americans blew up two of their own bases and one of ours. So much for pin-point bombing.

To stop the war now for the Ramadan period would be crazy. It's not a religious war, how can it be when the Taliban carry guns all the time, whip, torment and ignore women and their only sport is to kill people on the sports ground we paid for.

I say we should have helped the Americans when the Germans, Italians, French and Spanish etc joined in, not straight away. We should be behind the Americans, not in front; it's safer!
