A slight diversion from the subject.
I heard today that a bus with human shields, whilst in the process of leaving Iraq where hit by a missile.
Those misguided idits went deliberately into what they knew was going to be a warzone. Subsequently they decided to leave again because they became dissatisfied because the Iraqi military wanted them to shield military installations rather than the hospitals they had dreamed about protecting from the evil US bombs.
Many of these idits went to Iraq to play out their selfish, ill thought out, foolish dreams of heroism and my question is should our money really be spent on nursing them back to health from their wounds or should they have been left lying on the road to fend for themselves and perhaps even die (God forbid

) ?
Or, as a third solution, should they have been left lying on the road and as a goodwill gesture had the good fortune of having their respective government informed of their plight so they could foot the bill ?
My next question, given that we are in the middle of a war, can the English and American human shields be considered as having committed an act of treason by undermining our cause .
If you don't think that their action is contemptable consider the fact that their little act may well have given Saddam Hussein some further added encouragement to keep going which in turn could be seen in the light that this endangered the lives of the British and American soldiers.
In fact how many of the lives lost could be attributed to the actions of those dingdongs ?
