HI John
I didn't know it was called Apophasis, but I was conscious that I was letting you guys know that I do have a strong political position on this war, being upfront was the intention. However I think that this isn't the best place to discuss it. I dont think that's political correctness, that's me trying not to drag the group off-topic with my own views but also letting the pro-war amongst you realise that your views are not to be taken for granted. For many of us France's position smacks less of cowardice than of principle whilst Blair seems to be acting like the bulliy's sidekick. Of course If you guys are genuinely up for debate then fair enough.

I'm happy to learn any survival related lessons from the war though and no doubt in time there'll be a raft of rolicking good stories published and I'll buy a few of them. Of course how much of them I'll believe, eg. Bravo 20 will be up for question.
