At church on Sunday, I observed the minute's silence to remember the fallen in war, just like so many times before. This year it occurred to me that just remembering is not enough.

It is completely right to remember our fellow human beings who have been killed in battle. It is completely right to remember the recent casualties among our armed forces in Iraq and Afghanistan. It is also completely right to remember that these two wars were started, not for the defence of the realm, but for the financial gain of the few.

Do you agree with Harry Cohen MP, the member for Leyton and Wanstead, that:

• The US is attempting to force civil war in Iraq?
  
• The British are helping the US take over Iraq's assets?
• US/UK failure to ensure security, humanitarian aid and economic investment?
• US to stay in Iraq for the long term to rob the country of its resources?
