The main story on BBC news tonight was that British Troops will withdraw from Iraq by next summer. The second story was about the state of the economy and how it is going to get much worse. I couldn't help but wonder if there wasn't a direct relationship between the two.
I have never supported the notion of troops in Iraq anyway so any reason for them to leave is fine by me, but the cynic in me says that the withdrawal at this point is more to do with the cost than ideals. At least if the country is really poor they won't be able to afford to invade Iran or Pakistan or other such nonsense.

Hi Thanks for visiting my blog.
I think another good reason for the troops pulling out could be the change in the American Presidency and yes of course as you say MONEY! Debs x
P.S. If you are thinking of going to France with llamas my friend Deborah did it toute de seule with her Alpacas, she may be a good contact for you.
