Yes - they are amazing folk.

Sadly I cannot say the same of the Iraqis. It wasn't long ago that Prime Minister Maliki belittled the achievements and sacrifices of British forces, and their parliament's vote on Saturday not to extend the operational time span for British forces beyond December 31 was disgraceful. It was reversed - but nonetheless the message is clear.

These selfish people do not deserve the bravery of our forces. 178 of our finest sons and daughters did not come home alive. I don't know how many came home wounded.

I think that the people of Wootton Bassett can teach the Iraqis a thing or two about humility.
