ver be repeated. The Conservatives backed the Government last year over the war because Iraq was a real threat to the peace of the region and it was in gross and manifest breach of UN resolutions.
“What would have been the consequences if we had waited until a direct threat was real and imminent until we acted? Would we have been in a position to counter it? How could we take the risk that we would find ourselves impotent?”
If the West maintained its resolution, Iraq would be a much better place than it was under Saddam. The terrorists who murdered innocent people in New York and Madrid would like nothing better than to see the Western alliance splinter and break apart.
“We won the Second World War because we fought side-by-side with America. We won the Cold War because we stood side-by-side with America. And we will win this War on Terror if we wage it side-by-side with America.”
I have to say, I’m impressed. The leaders of our two main parties have now both made firm commitments to the war against terror.
