Well those of us in the UK know that Mr Blair is set to leave Labour sometime in the future. I heard it was going to be next week but then again, that was from a newspaper so it’s probably in the next 3 months or something.
Anywho, right now there’s an electoral poll which could lead to the independence of Scotland from Britain. Boo Hoo. What’s funny is that Gordon Brown, the proposed next in line to succeed Mr Blair, is Scottish! Wonder how this is gonna work….
My point really has nothing to do with that but with this line in the article:
“Labour is expected to suffer heavy losses in the elections to local councils, the Scottish parliament and Welsh assembly because of discontent over the Iraq war”
Ugh that WAR again! Yes everyone hates labour because of the war. A war that happened, how many years ago? No, seriously, how many years has it been? I’m not saying it should be brushed over but please, stop penalising someone who may have made a mistake. People make mistakes sometimes don’t they? And while this mistake is a bigger one than normal – that is to say you believe it IS a mistake, it’s done now. No one can turn back time un/fortunately. They made a decision based on evidence they believed to be true. They believed they were protecting their nation, their people, themselves even and can you blame them? Wouldn't we all do anything to preserve our lives? Does anyone know what would have happened 10 years from now if the war didn’t go ahead? I suppose not. That’s what happens with decisions; it could go either way. Time to focus on the future seeing as the past is already lived.
Man I don’t think I could ever rule the country. My ways are just too primitive!
Anyway I better get back to work.
Have a nice day!

But the war is still going on, so it's very unlikely that its affects can be overlooked of "got over" until it is an issue for the history books.
It's not the war itself or it's effects that I'm referring too. Of course any type of war is bad. It's more like get over the fact that he (they) may have made a 'mistake' at a given time; 'There's no point crying over spilt milk' or something along the lines of forgiveness. No one can say for sure what would have happened if the war didnt go ahead. You make a decision and sometimes they can be wrong after all, the prime minister is human and cannot possibly be right (or wrong) all the time.
