Here's one Iraqi's story:
In 2006 I [was] threatened by militia that hated me because I work and help coalition forces in Iraq, I told my bosses about that but they said we can’t do anything for you because we have nothing to do with civilian and we don’t have any army rules or orders to help you, then I continued my daily work with British army, few days later the militia attacked my house trying to catch me but I was at the work at that time, they beaten my family and told them: we want your son or we will kill all of you!!!! ‘Since that day I decided to leave my job and change my home place but until this moment the militia trying to find and kill me, I’m always changing my place trying to hidden from them, they know that I left my job but they don’t care, they just want to kill me.
Read the rest.
Should we abandon him? Or should we heed these words?:
Some say Britain is home to a selfish culture, that today British people place far less value on personal and social responsibility as a moral good, less importance on what we owe others as a matter of moral obligation and more weight on personal self gratification and individual advancement at the expense of duty to others....
I believe it is more important than ever that we remember what defines us as a nation - the most precious things, our tolerance, strong sense of fair play, our sense of civic responsibility.
Indeed, Mr Brown.
You got a generous plug in the Telegraph today. I wonder whether that will continue if you show such florid symptoms of terminal pottiness as trying to hold Brown to his word.
