I don't think they can come home, agreed, we shouldn't have gone in there in the first place, but now we'er there, it has to be to the finish, whatever that is.
In my opinion, as soon as mr Blair leaves office, he should be arrested and tried as a War criminal.
"Boys"? Do you mean the soldiers? They are men and women, not "boys". They can be withdrawn from Iaraq at any time the governemnt decides. The war was a success and the occupation is a failure. The occipation should be ended because it has now reached a point where it is counter-productive. The idea of a war being "illegal" or "legal" doesn't makes sense to me; wars happen when there is a complete breakdown of civil order and legality.
All military personel are called boys, always have been, an affectionate term that they like. As for the war being won, sorry, no chance, not until there's a peace, and I don't think iraqs at peace right now.
