I applaud the Government's decision in this regard. It has not affected our military neutrality in any way. I have long stated in this House and will state again that we are not neutral. We do not take part in military pacts but when it comes to the difference between good and evil and the difference between the democracies of Britain and America and the tyrannical regime of Saddam Hussein, I have no difficulty in standing up and being counted because I know which side I am on. I will take democracy any day to thuggery.
