Basra Iraq - the struggle goes on

It is over 2 years since George W Bush declared "mission accomplished" in Iraq, signifying the end of the war. It is of my opinion that Mr Bush is either delusional or very much wrong! Just today there were more British casualties in Basra, and I'm sure there will be many more! How long must this go on, nobody really knows! I'm not going to go into the moral grounds upon which Mr Bush chose to invade Iraq as it is a long and fiercely discussed debate. My opinion is of the fact that, yes Saddam was a bad man, but is it really our role to play as the "international police" if we don't like something, why should we be allowed to go overthrow their country? It is abuse of their power! Clearly to me it was for the financial benefits, obviously the oil, and also war opens up jobs as well e.g. munitions. The loss of life is appalling, and some see it as unnecessary, only George Bush and Tony Blair can be to blame! Mr Blair "the poodle" giving in to Mr Bush's every need is quite sickening!
If we could all get on nicely, international politics would be so much more simple!
