Foreign Conflicts: Motion.
I am not anti-American. Like many Members, I have family in America. Yesterday, a cousin of mine from Chicago visited this Chamber. He is opposed to the war, although he fought in the Vietnam War and his eldest son is on a US warship in the Persian Gulf at this time. He was very upset, which is understandable, given his family situation. He is opposed to this war on Iraq and felt that America and Britain had rushed into it. While he was not strictly anti-war, he was of the view that every other avenue should have been exhausted.
