“obviously illegal and largely pointless war on Iraq”
Care to back up either of those assertions? In order for something to be illegal, there has to be a law broken. What law was broken here? Pointless? The point was to find out if Saddam really had the WMDs he said he had and take them away from him if he did. Along the way, we liberated some people (just like we did in France on our way to affect regime change in Germany) and killed a lot of young Muslim men who fancied themselves Allah’s defenders from Christendom. Also, we stopped Saddam’s annoying habit of sending checks to terrorists in Israel.
“you’re right, we should buy more choppers, but the British people choose to spend more Government money on the National Health Service – that’s democracy (and not bloody Socialism) isn’t it?)”
No, that’s the effect of the US providing security for Europe for the last sixty-four years. Since you don’t have to have large armies with the latest equipment, you can spend your resources on socialism.
