It is very easy to be pessimistic on the UK's decision to withdraw from Iraq, but given that it is already obvious why, the UK's resolve to also sort out the Afghanistan problem by reinforcing that combat zone because of the lack of willingness of other UN countries to add extra support, also our other commitments around the world which we are still honouring, and though not much has been said at this point, but Argentina and the "Malvina's" is being whispered again in certain quarters...........The UK is certainly not "running away" from anything" indeed she is "running to" ongoing commitments and preparing itself for other's....it is time that we had a Government who realised that it is time to "increase our strength" and stop the false economy that is going on.
