The mere mention of Iraq evokes many reactions within people. Some people feel sheer anger about our reasons for going to war in the first place, whilst others feel an obligation for us to remain there. This week the Daily Telegraph will be conducting its own enquiry into the justification of the war and the actions that subsequently followed it. Whether you agree with the war or not, it cannot be disputed that Iraq has undoubtedly had an affect on all of us. Perhaps the greatest lesson we have learnt in this never ending struggle, is how important liberty, justice and freedom is. It is the lesson that many rarely wish to admit that they have learnt because of the sheer simplicity behind it. But no doubt, history will certainly remind us of this lesson in the future.

The Middle Eastern “Islamic” states for over a decade have lived with their ethos and agenda that have failed morally, ethically and practically. How is it that intelligent students, communication-savvy youngsters are so easily radicalised by Islamist preachers who have turned Islam into merely a political code? Why is it not clear to them that Wahabi-inspired Islamists have done nothing but incite and applaud outrageous acts of violence and mayhem that have crippled Muslim majority nations throughout the world?
