All other options must be exhausted before going to war. Please tell me who within the anti war camp would disagree with this. It is the Labour party's disgraceful attempts to push through a war despite its legality which the lib dems opposed and are therefore perfectly legitimate to position themselves as anti war.Tonyhttp://www.tony.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6181821511162472903.post-67154143165193825092014-06-17T17:06:08.847+01:002014-06-17T17:06:08.847+01:00I agree with you Will, but the Lib Dems pretty muc...I agree with you Will, but the Lib Dems pretty much always forget to mention that. They paint themselves as the 'We were against the war in Iraq' party, when actually they were against the war in Iraq without the UN, which is significant.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03879767181679522958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6181821511162472903.post-52243930205249988052014-06-17T13:24:06.075+01:002014-06-17T13:24:06.075+01:00If you think getting a second UN resolution or not...If you think getting a second UN resolution or not would have made only a "small difference" you completely misunderstand the issue and the reasons why so many of us were opposed. It is not about preventing war at any cost, it is about doing it only in a planned and consensual way, with legal and proper international backing and on the basis of fact rather than spin.

Given the present state of our research and intelligence, in liaison with our allies, nothing allows us to establish such links. On the other hand, we must assess the impact that disputed military action would have on this plan. Would not such intervention be liable to exacerbate the divisions between societies, cultures and peoples, divisions that nurture terrorism?"stunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17941070781218222073noreply@blogger.com
