INSTEAD of lecturing people here in the UK who are less gullible than he, John Utting should quietly ask himself why he has swallowed every lie of the Bush/Blair warmonger coalition.
In June, the US General Accounting Office admitted that in several areas; electricity, security and the judicial system, Iraq is were worse off than under Hussein. Hussein was hoisted to power and supported, because of his viciousness, by Britain and the US. US coalition forces have killed over 13,000 Iraqis. This is why resistance is growing.
Eight hundred and fifty US soldiers have been killed, thousands maimed and one in five return with post traumatic stress. Around 60 UK troops have died.
If Mr Utting wants anybody to go to Iraq perhaps he should stop cheering from the rear, sign up and go himself.
