I'm glad Tony Blaire has resigned finally because gordon brown will almost definetely pull our soldiers out of Iraq and when bush comes out of power, hopefully the next president will do the same.

oh dear..
America likes to immortalise thier war heroes through movies..songs..auto-biography..
There is nothing stopping other countries from doing the same.
They do not at any rate take the glory away from other soldiers who fought side by side with them.
Here in NZ we have many movies about the Maori Battalion who fought in WW1 and thier smartass tactics :D my great grandfather is mentioned in many of these movies.
America has a movies out about Windtalkers' depicting the input by thier indians..
However Australia has nothing out about the Aboriginies who fought alongside them.
War is never a great debate but at the end of the day we have much to be thankful for because of it.
