(Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.

Going forwards backwards, the retreat from an illegal war
Onwards British soldiers marching backwards to war With the legacy of Blair To stop Prince Harry going on to war.
Hi there, John! I was wondering if y'all across the pond thought that there might be a Harry connection to the British pull-out...alas, it appears so... :)
Hi Ginger. I saw Congerlese Rice trying to say that US putting more troops in and the British pulling out is the coalition moving in the same direction. I fail to see how as she is usually a fluent speaker and in this instance she appeared to be choking on what was obviously a blatant lie.
We feel that it is your second Vietenam, and our second Dunkirk. It would not be appropriate to put a heir to the throne in the firing line. If his regiment went in and he did not, they would lose face and trust.
Blair is getting ready to stand down, and still has not apologised for taking the decision to go into Iraq. We still have not had a valid reason for the war. Brown the leadership contender is for pulling the troops out.
World War 2 was supposed to be the war to end all wars. However, we have had nothing but wars ever since in one part of the world or another. What's wrong with trying to live in peace and get on with each other?
Be my guest. I have started getting hell of a lot of traffic from America. So, we must be doing something right.
Did you see the BBC report of the man in Turkey who got 4 years in prison for putting an insult on his blog about the president? We better not go giving GW Bush any ideas...

Excellent comment! Can I quote you on a new post about this? (i.e., put a paragraph in my post with your comment)?
