I agree the US and the UK are our friends but we are also their friend. In the same way they have contributed to our success as a nation, we have contributed to those countries through the people who have been involved in building up the US, in particular. Many of our UK and US friends are opposed to war. Senator Mansergh mentioned that the US Administration and the US Congress have been our friends over the years. That is true but the Government must remember that the US Congress is a political body, not some unchanging body. This House is a political body and it should take a political stand on this war.
